🎉 Cheers to 80 years of global impact! As the United Nations marks its milestone anniversary, the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) is front and center, bringing vital support to migrants and refugees across Latin America.
📍 On the ground in Mexico City, CGTN correspondent Alasdair Baverstock highlights how UNHCR teams are teaming up with local groups to deliver life-changing aid. From mobile clinics and medical check-ups to pop-up shelters offering a safe roof, the agency is plugging gaps where help is needed most.
🌎 Why it matters: Millions in Latin America are on the move, chasing safety from violence, economic struggles, or climate shocks. UNHCR steps in with emergency kits such as blankets, water, and hygiene packs, plus navigational help like legal advice and language support so families can rebuild with dignity.
🤝 Beyond the basics, UNHCR blends humanitarian work with innovation. Mobile apps help displaced communities find resources nearby, while data trackers map shifting migration routes in real time. It's aid powered by tech! 💡
For young changemakers in South and Southeast Asia, this is a blueprint: when compassion meets creativity, real change happens. From coding hackathons to online awareness drives, there's a place for your skills. Let's leverage technology for good! 🚀
