Our supporters are saving lives
UNICEF supporters are incredible. People like you have done astonishing things for children, saving them from starvation, protecting them from disease, and giving them hope for the future. From providing clean water to life-saving medicine, a donation to UNICEF reaches children across the globe and radically changes lives for the better.
Together, our community of supporters has made a life-saving difference. But the work isn’t done yet. Every contribution helps more children access food, water, and care when they need it most.
- Join us in continuing to make a difference.
A lasting result
People like you are helping save children from starvation, providing clean water, and delivering life-saving medicine. Their support is helping children across the world who are affected by conflict – children like Ramadan, in Sudan, who recovered from malnutrition with therapeutic food supplied by UNICEF supporters. Or four-year-old Ombeni in conflict-hit Democratic Republic of Congo, who was successfully treated for mpox thanks to emergency medical support.
These children have been through so much hardship. Can you imagine having to walk 15km just to collect water? That was the daily struggle for Mabkhot’s family in Yemen. Now they have clean water for cooking, washing, and drinking, after UNICEF rehabilitated their village well. Together, supporters like you are transforming lives every day.
Help that stretches the globe
In Ukraine, the awful war rages on. But children like Tykhon are back at school, in as safe an environment as can provided during conflict, and kept warm through the cold winter months thanks to support like yours. On the Afghaninstan border with Pakistan, families returning home have access to water, sanitation, hygiene kits, and dignity kits.
And in Mozambique, 11-month-old Isoura has begun nutrition treatment provided by a mobile health team trained and equipped with help from supporters like you.
Across these countries and more, people like you are helping children stay healthy, safe, and in school, no matter the challenges they face.
Incredible results thanks to UNICEF supporters
33 million people across the world gained access to clean water in 2024 thanks to UNICEF supporters.
26 million children were able to gain access to education in 2024 thanks to people like you.
9.3 million children were treated for severe acute malnutrition in 2024 – all thanks to UNICEF supporters.
A cash lifeline
Cash transfers are direct payments into the hands of families – because parents know best what their children need. They can be a lifeline during conflicts when it can be harder to reach children with trucks of life-saving supplies.
In Gaza, during periods when aid is prevented from crossing the border, cash transfers provided by UNICEF supporters ensure families can still feed their children from what little supplies are available in local markets.
In Syria too, cash transfers proved essential during long years of conflict. The family of 11-year-old Remas received a cash transfer from UNICEF to help them buy food, winter clothes and other essentials. With support from people like you, we can keep reaching children like Remas living in conflict with essential support.
Working together to save lives
11-month-old Mohammed lives in Gaza. He became deadly sick from malnutrition, and could have died. His mum, Nisreen did everything in her power to help him, but his little body was so depleted of nutrients that he couldn’t fend off even the most minor infections.
Nisreen explained: “The suspension of aid meant we couldn’t get therapeutic food anymore. That affected my child significantly. His body grew weaker.”
But when aid corridors opened to UN agencies like UNICEF, our teams, thanks to our supporters, were able to deliver the life-saving therapeutic food that Mohammed desperately needed. As a result of this wonderful kindness like yours, he survived and is now recovering.
Nisreen’s family relied on us to help save the life of her child. And we rely on our amazing donors. We all worked together – and this little boy is alive. We are immensely grateful for the essential help we receive from people like you.
Ongoing, life-saving support
Our supporters’ incredible efforts for families in emergencies has achieved so much. They’ve helped save the lives of thousands of children suffering in extreme circumstances.
If you’re able to contribute to these ongoing efforts today to help children with the greatest need, wherever they are, we would be incredibly grateful. Your gift today will go so far, and achieve so much.
