Hello,

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night to the blare of a smoke alarm and the noise of a bomb exploding in your home. War is something a lot of people have never experienced. Sadly, millions of children are facing it every day. They’re facing a childhood that's very difficult for others to imagine.

By donating today, you can help a child who's affected by war. Children shouldn’t have their lives turned upside down by conflict.

For some of these children, there’s no sandbox, just rubble. There are no paper planes. It’s rockets. This is what Ghanem experienced when he lost his home to one. He lost his leg, too. His mother didn’t know what to do, but who could blame her? When your eight-year-old son is screaming at a leg that was there a second ago, what do you do?

Today you can start helping these children in conflict 

Today, when you make a donation to the ICRC, you can help a child like Ghanem. Through the ICRC, he was given a prosthetic leg and can now return to playing with his friends.

Your donation will allow us to support children in need of help all over the world. Currently, there are children in Ukraine, caught in the middle of the conflict but also in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Yemen, and Nigeria. We’re supporting children’s mental health, as well as physical health, so they can get their childhood back.

Today you can start helping these children in conflict.

Thank you!
