2023 Monthly Donor Impact
A big thank you!
Your monthly donations mean that UNICEF is there even before an emergency strikes, and when the unthinkable happens. In 2023, intensified conflicts, economic crises, climate change, and natural disasters like earthquakes and floods caused enormous hardships for children. With your generosity, UNICEF scaled up our support for these children and maintained crucial programming around the world.

SEE YOUR IMPACT
TIMELY NUTRITION
SUPPORT
A UNICEF-supported nutrition intervention is the reason eight-month-old Mahdi can laugh today. Timely diagnosis and life-saving therapeutic food helped him regain his strength and restore his appetite. UNICEF provides about 80% of the world’s therapeutic food, which helped treat millions of children last year whose survival was threatened by severe acute malnutrition. With your monthly donation, UNICEF is able to help children like Mahdi get the support they need.
DIGNITY FOR
GIRLS IN SUDAN
Fourteen-year-old Malaz received reusable sanitary towels in her dignity kit distributed by UNICEF. In Sudan, where conflict has displaced girls and women to emergency shelters, the kits provide essential hygiene items like soap, buckets, towels, underwear and sanitary pads. “I feel happy and safe now. No more worries about menstruation,” Malaz shared. Your monthly donations helped UNICEF provide timely support for children who have been uprooted from their homes in Sudan and around the world.
EARTHQUAKE
RESPONSE IN AFGHANISTAN
Five-year-old Ayshah and her brother Fazel, age 9, smile outside a UNICEF-supported Child-Friendly Space in western Afghanistan. The siblings survived the October 2023 earthquakes that devastated the region. UNICEF was already there and prepared with shelter, healthcare, nutrition and psychosocial support.
VACCINE
MILESTONES
Six-year-old Adenilson was vaccinated against COVID-19 and influenza as part of a UNICEF-supported campaign to reach under-vaccinated children across Brazil. UNICEF reaches almost half the world’s children every year with life-saving vaccines. With the help of your generous monthly donations last year, we engaged communities, procured and distributed vaccines, and ensured affordable access for even the hardest-to-reach families.
SAFE SPACES
FOR CHILDREN
Nine-year-old Polina draws a portrait of her younger sister at the UNICEF-supported Spilno Child Spot in Mykolaiv, after being forced to flee her home for a second time. Since the beginning of the war, UNICEF and partners have set up more than 150 Spilno Spots throughout Ukraine where children can play, and where families can connect with essential services. Your support allows UNICEF to provide children like Polina spaces to just be a child amid conflict and crises, wherever they are in the world.
