Need has no borders. A child in need is a child in need
From the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to Sudan, from the Sahel to Gaza... far too many children are facing multiple threats at once. Severe malnutrition, disease, floods, displacement, and conflict are putting their lives at risk every day.
Every act of giving brings blessings. Your Sadaqah can help bring urgent relief and protection to children in crisis.
Your support can help provide:
- 🏥 Essential health care and nutrition for vulnerable children
- 💧 Safe water and sanitation
- 💙 Cash assistance for families in urgent need
- 🏫 Safe spaces where children can learn, play, and heal
Together, we can help children survive and thrive.
UNICEF is 100% donor funded.
Your gift immediately transforms into lifesaving support for children in need.
Hunger, conflict, and crisis don’t choose borders. Your Sadaqah can help children everywhere
Children in DRC and beyond need access to clean water
Your generosity can help UNICEF reach more children with uninterrupted access to clean water in places like DRC and beyond.
A Makana for children like Saimaa
For children living in conflict-torn areas, the UNICEF-established Makana is their safe space where they can get to learn, play, and heal. Your Sadaqa can help reach more children with such protective spaces.
Helping mothers like Hanadi
Hungry, thirsty, and weak, with each passing day, more families in Gaza are counting on us. UNICEF needs all the help it can get to keep reaching children and families in Gaza with life-saving therapeutic food, nutritional supplies, safe water, and other essential support.
Give hope to the children of Ukraine
In 2022, when Mira was just four years old, she and her mother were forced to flee Ukraine to survive. Millions of children faced the same ordeal and continue to endure hardship to this day.
Transforming lives with sustainable solutions
Your support means UNICEF can reach more communities with life-long access to safe water with solar powered water systems. It also means you have the power to transfor the lives of children like Madina, who will no longer have to miss out on their education and spend their days collecting water from contaminated creek.
Children in the Sahel deserve a normal life
Chafa'atou, 25, is in Niger, at the intensive nutritional recovery centre in Maradi Hospital. Her two-year-old daughter, Amira, is being treated for malnutrition: "My wish is that she doesn't come back here anymore and that she completely recovers".
Why people like you trust UNICEF with their donation?
- ✔ UNICEF reaches children in over 190 countries and territories
- ✔ UNICEF secures 80% of the world’s lifesaving therapeutic food used to treat severe malnutrition
- ✔ Over 2.1 billion people gained access to safe drinking water over the past two decades
- ✔ 150 million children have accessed education with UNICEF support since 2021
These numbers don’t exist to impress. They exist to reassure. They reflect long-term presence, the ability to operate at scale, and the experience needed to reach children in complex places like Gaza, Sudan, Yemen and Syria, where access is difficult and trust matters.
Our ability to deliver emergency aid to any region of the world – including medical supplies, shelter, life-saving therapeutic food, clean drinking water, and vaccines – reflects our collective commitment to every child in need.
For many supporters, it is this trust and real-world impact that inspire them to choose UNICEF for their Sadaqa donations.

Your Sadaqah, no matter how big or small, can help us reach more children in need by:
- Pre-positioning lifesaving supplies in regions prone to emergencies caused by climate or conflict.
- Preparing in advance and ensuring funds are available for long-term solutions that improve children’s lives.
- Supporting children during and after crises by providing safe spaces, medical care, and opportunities to learn and play
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.
Don’t let a child’s life feel incomplete – share your kindness with families enduring unimaginable hardships.

No donation is too small, and any donation can help save children's lives.
You choose for how long you wish to donate: monthly or only once. In order to contribute to a fundamental change in the lives of vulnerable children, the longer you choose to get involved, the more powerful your donation will be. Vulnerable children’s lives can improve if you are a part and contribute to the work that we are doing, and to the solutions that we are providing. By donating, you become an active part of the solution and of the change process.
A monthly donation is a recurring gift amount that you choose to send each month, and it is even more impactful, as this means that you'll be helping children every single day.
Your monthly gift will also enable us to plan effectively in our upcoming work, reduce costs and most importantly, reach even more children in need. The support and generosity of monthly donors contribute significantly to UNICEF's efforts to help vulnerable children.
For the moment, we don’t have offline fundraisers that are collecting donations for UNICEF. You can support our efforts in helping vulnerable children by donating online on this webpage.

At the moment, UNICEF does not offer individual child sponsorship. Instead, your donation supports a wide range of essential programmes that protect all children: access to safe water and sanitation, nutrition and treatment for malnutrition, vaccinations, education, child protection, and emergency humanitarian assistance. This approach ensures that your contribution reaches the most vulnerable children across Senegal, West and Central Africa, and beyond – wherever the needs are greatest.
