From war in Gaza to devastating earthquakes in Afghanistan, your generous contribution can ensure that UNICEF is always there for children, whenever and wherever they need us.
Help us be there for children around the world when they need us the most
Every year, we respond to hundreds of emergencies like the ones in Afghanistan and Gaza. Our ability to reach any part of the world with urgent relief supplies including medical supplies, shelter, life-saving therapeutic food, safe water, and vaccines in the event of a disaster, is a testament to our collective commitment to every child in need.
When you give regularly to UNICEF, you will help meet the urgent needs of more children in emergencies by:
- Pre-positioning supplies in regions prone to emergencies because of climate or political sensitivitie so children have what they need fast
- Helping us plan for the future and invest in long-term solutions that will positively impact children
- Addressing the immediate and long-term needs of children by providing safe spaces for them to learn and play as well as seek medical assistance in times of crisis
But we can’t do it alone. We need your help to always be there for every child, whenever and wherever they’re in need.
