Freezing temperatures threaten children’s lives

Children around the world are bracing for another harsh and dangerous winter. In places like Gaza, Syria, Afghanistan and Ukraine, children and families already facing conflicts and climate disasters will have to contend with freezing temperatures, severe weather conditions and heavy rains. They need warmth now.

Along with delivering critical, life-saving supplies like therapeutic food, water and vaccines to children in crisis, UNICEF is providing winter essentials including warm clothes, shelter and blankets to help them stay warm during the colder months. But we need your support to reach more children.

Become a monthly donor and help UNICEF maintain critical support and services for children around the world – in the cold months and all year long.

How your monthly gift will help children:

$20

Could provide warm blankets to protect 3 babies from the cold.

$40

Could provide a temporary UNICEF shelter for a family with 3 children.

$50

Could provide urgent humanitarian aid to 1,906 children.

Why give monthly?

We rely on your monthly donation to maintain critical support and services for children around the world – not just during emergencies, but every single day. Thanks to our community of monthly donors across Canada, we can continue our life-saving work, including:

Vaccinating almost half of the world’s children every year;
Delivering emergency supplies within 72 hours to anywhere in the world;
Providing water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) programs in over 100 countries;
And so much more!

Help ensure children have the essentials they need to make it through the cold months ahead. Become a monthly donor today.
