Life doesn’t stop when a child becomes a refugee.
They still want to get 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 their future.
It’s World Refugee Day and we are celebrating the strength, resilience and courage of those who have been forced to flee their home country to escape persecution, war or violence. You can make a MATCHED donation in their honor >>
Right now, 1 in every 95 people on earth has fled their home as a result of conflict or persecution. Here are a few places that UNICEF, along with your support, provided aid for those on the move in 2021: |
-
Provided critical lifesaving support to over 115,000 Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, the largest refugee settlement in the world.
-
Vaccinated over 27,000 Syrian refugee children under 5 against polio in Iraq.
-
Facilitated access to temporary learning and early childhood development activities for Ukrainian children whose lives have been turned upside-down by war.
-
Trained South Sudanese refugees to become teachers to help refugee students in Sudan feel safer and more at home.
|
None of this would be possible without the support of people like you.
Take advantage of this 2X MATCH and ensure the continuity of the programs and supplies UNICEF spearheads 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, safe passages and transit, and the freedom to pursue a future that is bright and full of opportunity.
Thank you,
