A global pandemic. A hunger crisis. Deadly conflicts. Natural disasters. Displacement.
These are just a few of the life-altering emergencies children around the world have experienced lately. And whenever there is an emergency, children tend to suffer first, and suffer most.
Emergencies occur in an instant, with effects that can unfold over the course of several years. For children already in crisis zones, these events are often doubly devastating. As existing emergencies unfold and new ones appear, more children are in need of help than ever before — and it's critical that UNICEF is there to support them.
When you give monthly, you’ll ensure that UNICEF is equipped to respond to emergencies, anticipate future risks and deliver the long-term assistance needed to protect children >> |
Your support for UNICEF’s emergency response will bring:
-
Critical assistance to 3.7 million children in Yemen, home of one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises
-
Safe water and sanitation to children in Haiti, where children account for 2 in 5 cholera cases as disease spreads
-
Lifesaving treatment and child protection services to the Sahel, where armed conflict is putting lives in danger
-
Continued relief to children in Syria, where 12 years of conflict on top of the recent earthquakes has left millions of children at heightened risk for malnutrition
UNICEF’s job is to be present, to stay and deliver — both during emergencies and well into the future. As the leading UN agency responsible for providing access to water and sanitation, nutrition, education and protective services, UNICEF is doing everything possible to rush emergency relief and strengthen the systems that children rely on.
But the cost of vital supplies are rising and children’s needs are growing faster than we can keep up.
With your monthly gift, you can turn your passion for children into a lifeline of support that sustains UNICEF’s efforts for every child. Are you ready to start giving monthly?
Thank you for helping UNICEF respond and stay ready,
Shannon Coffey
