Thank you for standing with us
Your monthly donations made a very real difference last year! Monthly donations are at the core of UNICEF’s impact. The importance of this steady resource means that UNICEF is there even before an emergency strikes, and when the unthinkable happens. In 2022, conflict, climate crises and the ongoing effects of COVID-19 created historic challenges. Thank you for being there for children and their families.

Supporting
children in Ukraine
Markar's Story
In November, 6-year-old Markar and his mother were able to smile at the Kharkiv medical hospital, thanks to the UNICEF-provided power generators and crucial supplies that enabled Markar to receive critical care and rehabilitation. Shelling during the war in Ukraine has cut power to hospitals, and forced medically fragile patients to shelter for hours at a time in hospital basements.
Children
in Haiti
Fredlyne's story
Smiling six-month-old Fredlyne enjoyed hanging around on the weigh scale before receiving vaccines at a mobile outreach clinic in Troirac village, supported by UNICEF. With help from monthly donors, UNICEF continues to stay in Haiti, where the triple threat of violence, malnutrition and cholera is affecting children and families—many of whom were displaced by the 7.2-magnitude earthquake in August 2021.
Future for girls
in Afghanistan
Sadaf's story
Eleven-year-old Sadaf feels very fortunate to attend the UNICEF-supported Fatah Girls School in Herat, Afghanistan. UNICEF has installed toilets, rehabilitated sanitation facilities, and supported menstrual hygiene education. “Before learning about menstruation, I thought it was really shameful. But since we’ve been educated about it, I now know it’s normal,” Sadaf says.
The impact of
drought in Ethiopia
Aicha's story
“I am a child, not a bride.” In the drought-stricken Afar region of north-eastern Ethiopia, UNICEF is working to ensure that young girls like Aicha, 11, are not forced into marriage as households face water scarcity and poverty.
