UNHCR Partners with Refugee Organization to Support Persons with Disabilities

Aug 29, 2025

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) signed a grant agreement on Thursday with the refugee-led organization, 'Tomorrow is Better'. This partnership aims to provide crucial support to refugees with disabilities living in Addis Ababa by supplying them with essential assistive devices.

Addis Ababa is currently home to more than 79,000 refugees, and it's estimated that 10 to 15% of this population are persons with disabilities. The new grant will help address their specific needs and improve their quality of life.
