Change for Good Supporting Children in Urgent Need this Winter.

UNICEF Ireland and Aer Lingus have a partnership spanning 25 years.

In support of UNICEF’s Winter Appeal, Aer Lingus will hold a special collection to raise onboard donations for children in need.

The special collection will take place on all short-haul and long-haul flights from Friday 8th December until Sunday 17th December.

 

 

Millions of children are suffering this Christmas.

Millions of children around the world are facing freezing temperatures without proper protection from the elements.

Many children and their families have fled the horrors of war and are now living in makeshift shelters, tents and bombed-out buildings facing a cold winter with no way of keeping warm.

Without blankets and winter clothes, children will struggle to survive the bitter cold this Christmas.

Any contribution big or small will make a big difference. Please donate to help now.

Providing Warmth and Life-saving Supplies.

Winters in countries like Ukraine, Pakistan, Syria, or Afghanistan are ferocious.

Freezing weather, snow, and biting winds are bringing even further hardship and misery to so many children in desperate need.

But with the support of people like you, UNICEF is there to provide life-saving supplies like thermal blankets and winter clothing kits to keep them safe.

“The nights are bitterly cold, and we shiver uncontrollably in the room,” Dalia said.
“I often spend the night dreaming of my warm bedroom back home in Khartoum.”
“We badly needed the blankets. We covered ourselves with an old bedsheet, and it wasn’t enough for everyone,” Dalia said with joy.

You can help today and keep a child like Dalia warm and safe this winter by supporting this appeal.

Please give what you can and help save a child’s life today.

Dalia was just 10 years old when the war forced her and her family to flee from Khartoum, Sudan.
Eleven months later, the family has been displaced twice. UNICEF has distributed warm blankets and mattresses to over 700 children and their families at Al-Salaam to protect them from the cold.
