Double your impact for children in emergencies
Thanks to the incredible generosity of the Aaron Sansoni Foundation, the first $274,494 donated will be matched dollar for dollar, doubling your impact for children in emergencies.
Donations received after the matched goal is reached will continue to provide critical support to children in desperate need. Every dollar you give makes a lifesaving difference. Thank you for your unwavering support.
Right now, more than 1 in 6 children around the world live in areas torn apart by war. That number is only expected to grow in 2025.
Together, we can help every child in crisis survive and recover.
From the devastating conflicts in Gaza, Lebanon, Sudan, and Syria, to the recent heartbreaking earthquake in Myanmar, children around the world are experiencing an unprecedented number of emergencies. Millions of children have lost access to food, clean water, shelter and healthcare, leaving them vulnerable to malnutrition and disease.
UNICEF continues to provide critical support to children and families in crisis, and your generous gift will help them rebuild their lives.
We can’t stop emergencies from happening, but we can ensure that more children survive and recover. With the help of people like you, UNICEF has helped save more children's lives than any other charity in the world – 90 million since 1990. Your donations allow us to be there for children before, during and after emergencies – from the critical first hours, when we deliver lifesaving supplies, including clean water, therapeutic food, and mental health and psychosocial support, to long-term recovery and rehabilitation. Together, we are there for every step, for every child. No matter what.

"I'm in Lebanon, and I meet Ali, two-year-old Ali who spent 14 hours under rubble and hasn't spoken for about two weeks because of that trauma."
Ali (pictured above) has begun to open up to a UNICEF-supported child psychologist, slowly starting to play with toys but often pausing as if searching for the family he lost. But he still has a long journey ahead.
In Gaza, Lebanon, and other places around the world, children are experiencing unimaginable hardship due to conflict.
