Life doesn’t stop when a child becomes a refugee.
Like all children, they still want to be tucked into a warm, safe bed at night. They still need access to safe water and nutrition. They still skin their knees, play pretend and laugh at games of peek-a-boo.
Refugee children still have dreams for the future.
Today is World Refugee Day, and we are taking this moment to recognize the strength, resilience and courage of those who have been forced to flee their homes to escape persecution, war or violence. |
Millions of children are on the move today. UNICEF works around the world to address the refugee crisis and protect every child who has been uprooted — both by working to address the root causes of forced migration and by supporting the immediate needs of displaced children.
In Gaza, Myanmar, Sudan, Ukraine and beyond, teams are delivering vital care and providing child-friendly spaces so children can play and learn. There, children also receive mental health and psychosocial support to help them process trauma.
This work would not be possible without the help of committed supporters like you. In honor of World Refugee Day, please consider making a gift — matched 5X today — to help ensure UNICEF can continue delivering essential supplies and programs for children on the move >>
The greatest gift you can give a child is the chance to simply be a child. This means access to essential services, protection from violence and exploitation and the freedom to pursue a future that is bright and full of opportunity.
Thank you for helping children, today and every day.
