Since October, two UNFPA-supported maternity hospitals in Ukraine have been damaged by attacks , putting pregnant women and newborns at risk. As families brace for their fourth winter of war, ongoing violence, stress, and displacement are compounding the dangers expectant mothers already face.

Will you make a lifesaving gift today? This giving season, your gift will be 2X-matched, doubling your impact for women and girls across Ukraine and in crisis zones around the world.

A child and her family in Ukraine, fleeing the war in the cold. She is one of 5.8 million Ukrainians forced from their country, while another 3.8 million people remain displaced inside Ukraine.

This winter is expected to be the harshest yet since war broke out in Ukraine in 2022. Relentless shelling has cut entire communities off from essential services. Attacks on energy infrastructure have left women and girls facing blackouts, freezing temperatures, and the loss of water and heating.

For mothers and their babies, winter conditions are not just harsh — they are life threatening. Maternal deaths in Ukraine have risen by 37% , and nearly 12% of babies in the hardest-hit regions are born prematurely , making access to functioning hospitals and medical equipment like incubators and ventilators a matter of survival.

More than 80 maternity and newborn facilities have been damaged or destroyed, forcing doctors to move delivery rooms into underground bunkers in order to work through blackouts and shelling.

“It’s the difference between life and death in some cases,” shared Dr. Heintz who relies on UNFPA medical supplies like incubators to care for premature babies.

Will you make a gift to deliver lifesaving medical supplies to maternity hospitals and UNFPA Winter Dignity Kits, filled with warm clothing, menstrual products, and blankets, to women and girls facing the cold in Ukraine and around the world? [[link removed]?]

DOUBLE MY GIFT [[link removed]?]

Anastasiia gave birth to two premature twin boys on the frontlines. They are doing well thanks to the medical care and equipment provided to the UNFPA hospital where she gave birth.

UNFPA Winter Dignity Kits provide essential personal care items to new mothers in need of warmth, care, and dignity after giving birth.

This year alone, supporters like you have delivered more than 29,000 UNFPA Dignity Kits to women and girls surviving the war and 518,000 Dignity Kits to women and girls worldwide.

Your support also helps send critical supplies, such as incubators, medicines and equipment for childbirth, and nutritional supplements to support healthy pregnancies, to the frontlines of the war in Ukraine because childbirth doesn’t stop for conflict or winter.

But severe funding cuts have already left more than 750,000 women and girls without access to lifesaving care. With winter worsening conditions, the number of women and girls in need is growing by the day.

Your gift today can deliver UNFPA Winter Dignity Kits and lifesaving medical supplies across Ukraine, ensuring no woman has to face the cold, or childbirth, alone. Will you deliver twice the lifesaving care — and twice the hope, health, and dignity — to women and girls in crisis with a 2X-matched gift today? [[link removed]?]
