Ramadan this year feels incomplete for as long as children in places like Gaza, Sudan, Syria, and Afghanistan are in desperate need.

Make a donation and help UNICEF reach more children with urgent life-saving support from clean water, and therapeutic food to cash assistance.

 "We used the money to get crucial supplies for the children: milk, diapers, medicine for my sick child, and flour for making bread," says Eman, a mother from Gaza  

On 19 December 2023, in a shelter for internally displaced persons in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip, Mahmoud and his wife Eman pose for a photograph with their children.

 

Nothing can describe the pain and helplessness a mother feels knowing she can’t provide her children with something as basic and essential as milk or food. Unfortunately, mothers in conflict-torn areas like Gaza are all too familiar with this feeling as they struggle daily to feed their children.

This Ramadan feels incomplete without extending a helping hand to families enduring such struggles.

Since the start of the escalation in Gaza, UNICEF has reached over 500,000 people with cash transfers that enable families like Eman’s to purchase essential items they desperately need. Fulfill this month of giving by helping us reach more children and families with such urgent and critical support.

Why trust UNICEF with your Sadaqah?

Last year UNICEF responded to more than 400 crises around the world, including the ones in Gaza, Sudan, and Syria.

Our ability to reach any part of the world with urgent relief – including medical supplies, shelter, life-saving therapeutic food, safe water, and vaccines– is a testament to our collective commitment to every child in need.

When you give to UNICEF, you will be there for children in need by helping us:

  • Pre-position supplies in regions prone to emergencies due to climate or political sensitivities.

  • Prepare in advance and ensure the availability of funds for long-term solutions that will positively impact children.

  • Address the immediate and long-term needs of children by providing safe environments for play, learning, and medical assistance during and after the 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.

We couldn't have done it without donors like you

I was once a victim of a crisis. The experience was tough. The man who accommodated us treated us nicely. I know there are a lot of people out there who need help daily. To me, it doesn't matter whether you have all or not. With the little you have; you can put a smile on someone else's face.
