Despite the challenges so many children around the world endure during complex conflicts and emergencies, they still keep pushing forward to survive and thrive beyond the difficulties that they face every day.
This was the case for 14-year-old Osama — who at a young age lost his leg in an accident after taking a job to support his family in rural Syria. With assistance from Salwa, a case manager at a UNICEF-supported child protection center, Osama slowly opened up to receive more help and eventually was even able to walk again with a prosthetic leg. Osama’s special bond with Salwa also led him to begin mental health and psychosocial sessions with a psychotherapist to overcome the trauma of his accident.

More than ever, children around the world are in need of the same kind of humanitarian aid that UNICEF helps provide — just like the support that Osama received.
Despite the challenges, there is hope for the future. Children like Osama are brave and determined to grow and thrive — and with UNICEF’s help, they can. Together with supporters like you, UNICEF works to meet the urgent needs of children globally by:
- Rushing lifesaving supplies during emergencies
- Providing mental health and psychosocial support
- Setting up Child-Friendly Spaces in conflict zones
- And so much more
