Friend,
Climate change. Inflation. The COVID-19 Pandemic. We're no strangers to the effects of today's challenges. Now multiply that feeling by 10 and see it through the eyes of a child.
In 2022 alone, climate-induced floods have ravaged Afghanistan, Bangladesh, northern India and Pakistan, leaving over 15 million children in need of emergency relief. With disease spreading as the floodwaters recede, children are facing several crises like severe acute malnutrition, lack of access to medical care and an even greater risk to their mental health. Children have played no part in creating the climate catastrophe in South Asia, yet they are the ones paying the biggest price. |
UNICEF works tirelessly to protect the critical water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and health services that children depend on for survival. To prevent these deadly climate catastrophes, it will require every single one of us to take action.
Children can’t wait for crises to hit before we do something — by then it’s too late. But you can take action right now by making a 3X matched gift to provide the emergency resources that are critical to children’s safety and development.
With you by our side, UNICEF is ready to start 2023 on the right foot — prepared and thinking of children first. |
