Help reach children as soon as an emergency hits
In emergencies children suffer first and most, making them vulnerable to disease, malnutrition and violence. You might have heard that 1 in 14 children face humanitarian crsis – and that number is growing.
When an emergency strikes, UNICEF can deliver life-saving help to children in just 48 hours to more than 190 countries.
But we can only do this because of our Global Parents. Will you help children in need by becoming a Global Parent today?
From war in Ukraine to malnutrition in Afghanistan, you can ensure that UNICEF is always there.
By starting a monthly gift, you’ll become a UNICEF Global Parent and help reach children as soon as an emergency hits with medical supplies, safe drinking water and life-saving therapeutic food.

After fleeing conflict in Afghanistan, Parwana was diagnosed as suffering from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM). UNICEF has provided life-saving therapeutic food to help her recover.
She is one of an estimated 1 million children in Afghanistan who need urgent treatment. Since August 2021, there has been a 5 per cent increase in SAM cases across the country. Children’s nutrition needs have increased following recent political upheaval, and as the economy struggles, more people suffer the consequences.
By becoming a monthly donor today, you can help UNICEF continue to support children like Parwana in Afghanistan and beyond.
You can help us to be there before, during and after an emergency.
