The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has awarded RAF for Humanitarian Services the “Humanitarian Hero Shield “ for the period from June 2017 to June 2018.
“This honouring comes in recognition of RAF efforts to support and fund UNHCR’s refugee projects in Bangladesh, Somalia and Ethiopia,” RAF said in a press release yesterday.
RAF said that during the past months it had signed three working agreements with UNHCR to finance three relief projects for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, vulnerable communities in Puntland state, south-central Somalia, and Somali refugees in Ethiopia.
Around 320,000 refugees benefited from the projects implemented by UNHCR in the three countries, RAF added.
