Life Saving Food
UNICEF provides life-saving therapeutic food to millions of malnourished children worldwide. Discover how your support helps deliver this vital nutrition and saves young lives every day.
For every child, every day
For 79 years, UNICEF has stood with children in over 190 countries, reaching them wherever and whenever they need us most. From war zones to disaster areas and the world’s toughest places, we act quickly to save lives but we do not stop there.
Children deserve more than short-term aid. They need lasting stability, education, healthcare, and protection. UNICEF stays long term, rebuilding schools, providing vaccines and clean water, and helping families recover.
With expert teams and one of the largest humanitarian aid networks, we ensure support reaches children consistently, not just during crises.
Thanks to our monthly donors, we can plan ahead, respond immediately, and create real change. UNICEF will not stop until every child is safe, healthy, and thriving.

UNICEF protects children
UNICEF is a global leader in child protection, responding in emergencies and working beyond crises to keep children safe. We partner with governments, international organisations, and, most importantly, communities to create lasting change.
Whether reuniting children separated from their parents in Gaza or rescuing those forced into armed groups in Haiti, we work every day to help ensure every child is free from violence and exploitation. In just one year, we helped protect 11 million adolescent girls from child marriage and provided essential support to 4.5 million children who experienced violence.
At UNICEF, we won’t stop until every child is safe.

UNICEF keeps children healthy
In just one year, UNICEF provided life-saving treatment to 9.3 million children suffering from severe wasting. But our impact doesn’t stop there.
We ensure millions of families have access to safe water and vaccinations, while our expert teams support pregnant women in refugee camps and mothers in poverty-stricken areas. Supporting mothers through their pregnancy and ensuring their babies have a healthy start in life.
Beyond emergencies, we work hand in hand with communities and governments to build strong, resilient health systems, so children can thrive not just today, but every day, both now and into the future.

UNICEF helps educate children
Every year, UNICEF helps over 37 million children access education, no matter where they are or the challenges they face. From delivering solar-powered tablets to children in Sudan, to setting up classrooms in underground bomb shelters in Ukraine, we make learning possible even in the toughest conditions.
In places where education is restricted, our expertise ensures children can keep learning. And in many emergencies, we are the largest provider of educational support, stepping in when no one else can.
Because every child, no matter who they are or where they live, has the right to learn and deserves an education.

Monthly Donors are First Responders
The first 72 hours of an emergency are crucial. Monthly donations allows UNICEF to respond immediately to a crisis. That's because the money isn't earmarked for a particular country, so it can be used where it is needed most.
Help a child survive and thrive today
By giving a donation to UNICEF today you could help provide food, clean water, and essential medicines to a child in desperate need.
