Help Children This Winter
Temperatures are dropping and conditions are worsening for children around the world. Will you help today?
Harsh Winter Endangers Vulnerable Children
Cold can kill, making winter deadly for children in Gaza, Afghanistan, Ukraine and beyond. When violence or other crises force kids from home, they often live in tents and makeshift shelters — no match for extreme weather. UNICEF delivers emergency winter supplies and more to vulnerable children, and right now they need our support.
