John, when the war in Ukraine escalated a year ago, all 7.5 million children there were in immediate danger. Over the next 100 days, more than two-thirds of them were forced to flee their homes.
3-year-old Anastasia* was one of them. When her family returned after months away, they found their home severely damaged by shrapnel. Thanks to supporters like you, our cash assistance program helped repair their roof and chimney and replace their front door and broken windows so they can stay warm and safe this winter.
In any crisis – from the ongoing war in Ukraine to the devastating earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria earlier this month – we know that children are the most at risk. The Children’s Emergency Fund allows us to respond quickly when emergencies strike and to remain in communities supporting children’s physical and mental health for as long as we’re needed.
