UNHCR is the UN Refugee Agency and takes the lead in providing international protection for 51 million refugees and displaced people worldwide.

Private Sector Fund Raising (PSFR) is a fast growing global division with offices in 14 countries across the world. By end of 2014, PSFR will recruit over 250,000 new individual private donors and our ambition is to quickly grow in size, scale and global reach.

Direct dialogue fundraising, or face to face fundraising, is at the heart of our growth strategy, currently accounting for over 80% of new donors recruited globally each year. It is through the efforts of the fundraisers working in this direct sales environment that we not only raise vital funds for refugees but also build the UNHCR brand.

In Thailand, PSFR has been achieving outstanding results since its establishment in May 2008. Through the outsourced face to face fundraising programme, PSFR generates the largest portion of funds that go directly to support refugees in Thailand.
