GIVE SHELTER ♥ SAVE LIVES
The "Gimme Shelter" was presented by the Hollywood actor Ben Affleck under UNHCR in 2008 to the Democratic Republic of Congo. Nowadays, its primary aim and focus is to remind people of the importance of shelter from the elements, from violence, from hunger, from disease. It seeks to gain financial help from governments and individuals in order to aid refugees and internally displaced persons of Somalia.
"Gimme Shelter is a way to make people understand the plight of people who are forced to flee and have no shelter, not only physical shelter but respect for their rights and the capacity to allow them to live in safety and dignity."
- UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres -
