UNICEF works to build a better world for every child, every day. A world where every child has the chance to fulfil their potential and grow up healthy and safe. We work in 190 countries and territories around the world, reaching more children than any other humanitarian organisation.

Story

We are fasting for 24 hours to support underprivileged children in Ukraine affected by the war crimes and terrible situation in the area. UNICEF collaborated with non-governmental organizations and utility companies to ensure access to safe drinking water for more than 962,000 people in both government-controlled and non-government-controlled areas through the provision of reagents and equipment for the repair of damaged infrastructure. More than 82,000 children, youth and caregivers living within 15 km of the front line received psychosocial support through schools, mobile teams, and community-based outreach. Life-saving mine-risk education reached more than 700,000 children and their families. More than 138,000 boys and girls benefitted from the rehabilitation of 87 schools and kindergartens and the provision of educational materials to the most vulnerable school facilities within 5 km of the front lines. In addition, more than 3,800 parents and teachers received training on life skills and education in emergencies. UNICEF remains the main provider of life-saving antiretroviral drugs, covering more than 11,000 people in non-government controlled areas. As of 31 October 2017, UNICEF had US$14.7 million available against the US$31.2 million appeal and we would like to contribute and raise money to help UNICEF reach their target.

Please help us support UNICEF in this incredibly important task!
