HELP CHILDREN
IN DANGER
Help Children Survive and Thrive
Your donation today will make a real and lasting difference to a child’s life. From nutrition to education, emergency response to development work, your support will change a child’s life and help build a better world for everyone.
We rely entirely on voluntary donations like yours to fund our vital work for children. Support from people like you, ensures UNICEF can work in the world’s toughest places to reach the most disadvantaged children and to protect the rights of every child, everywhere. Across 190 countries and territories, we do whatever it takes to help children survive, thrive and fulfil their potential.
We make sure more of the world’s children are fed, vaccinated, educated and protected than any other organisation. We get things done and we never give up. Before, during and after humanitarian emergencies, UNICEF is on the ground, bringing lifesaving help and hope to children and their families.
Join us and help make sure every child survives, thrives and fulfills their potential.
Saving Children’s Lives
When Doa’a arrived to our therapeutic feeding centre in Yemen, she was suffering from pneumonia and severe acute malnutrition – the most dangerous form of malnutrition. She was so weak she couldn’t even breastfeed. Without treatment, a child as weak as Doa’a will quickly die.
Thanks to our supporters, UNICEF teams are on the ground ready to help. Doa’a was given immediate treatment of fortified milk to help her regain her strength and medicines to treat her pneumonia. Soon she was strong enough to go home.
Happy again and restored to health, baby Doa’a is now back in the care of her parents. Her recovery was made possible because of the kind donations, which paid for the fortified milk and medicines needed to save her life.
“It is enough for me that my daughter returned to the house alive and that she smiles and laughs,” Doa’a’s father Hussein added happily.
