In 2025, a historic emergency for children
213 million children in 146 countries need urgent humanitarian aid. This is the largest emergency in UNICEF’s history.
Why?
- Ongoing armed conflicts
- Climate disruption
- Forced displacement
- Collapse of health and education systems
These children are deprived of healthcare, clean water, food, education and protection. They didn’t choose these crises, but they are paying the highest price.
When everything falls apart,
your support can rebuild lives.
An unprecedented humanitarian crisis… and collapsing funding
While needs are soaring, UNICEF is facing a sharp decline in public and private funding. As a result, vital programmes are being suspended or shut down.
Alarming examples:
- Mozambique: Nutrition services for 55,200 children have been stopped
- Lebanon: Suspension of vaccination, education and water programmes
- Haiti: No more funding for some postnatal care, despite the needs of 3.3 million children
- Syria: Education for children with disabilities is under threat
- Worldwide: 15 million children and mothers risk losing access to life-saving nutrition
We are at a turning point. Without urgent action, decades of progress may be lost.
There is still time to act
Every donation counts. It allows UNICEF to stay on the ground, respond to emergencies, and protect the most vulnerable children.
What your donation can do:
Together for children. Together for the future.
Helping children in crisis is more than an act of solidarity. It’s an investment in a more stable, just and humane world.
