Hi there,
For 100 days the people of Ukraine have had their lives shattered by the devastating impacts of war. As humanitarian needs multiply by the hour, the lives of millions of children continue to hang in the balance. 6.6 million refugees have fled Ukraine, around half of them children. More than 8 million people have been internally displaced. Here’s what we know and most importantly, what we’re doing to help. |
As many children in the rest of the world prepare for summer break, the children of Ukraine are living amid the escalating violence that keeps them from their classrooms. For children affected by crises, school is particularly critical — ensuring access to education can be the difference between a sense of hope or despair.
UNICEF has been working to ensure that the children of Ukraine can keep learning even amid these unthinkably difficult conditions. The ‘All-Ukrainian Schools Online’ platform and the ‘NUMO Online Kindergarten’ offer distanced digital learning, while education-related supplies are provided to shelters, metro stations and other locations hosting displaced children. |

UNICEF’s decades-long experience working with children growing up amid armed conflict has clearly shown that children can recover from the pain of war if they remain in school and stay connected to family and loved ones. With your support, UNICEF is doing everything possible to protect the physical safety, psychological well-being and future of every child affected by the war in Ukraine. |
Thank you for supporting children,
UNICEF USA |
