Every day, we see stories of suffering on our screens, as humanitarian crises erupt in every corner of the world. Each new crisis leaves families in a state of shock, destitute and dependent on humanitarian aid.
When a disaster strikes or a conflict escalates, the world rallies to support the most vulnerable. But after the cameras have gone and the world’s attention has faded, many children remain trapped in these crises, still waiting for help and support.
STAY FOR CHILDREN
In a world of crises, UNICEF keeps helping children in need and offering vital help.
Stay with us – for a better future.
Why doesn’t UNICEF leave after the crisis?
Children are always the first victims of crises – be they wars, floods, famines, droughts or earthquakes. They all have one thing in common: a devastating impact on children’s lives.
- Homes are destroyed, forcing entire families to flee.
- Food becomes scarce, leading to an explosion in malnutrition rates.
- Health systems collapse under the pressure.
- Education is disrupted, with schools in ruins.
- Children are left unprotected, exposed to violence and exploitation.
Stay for children!
UNICEF is on the ground before, during and after emergencies. Before an emergency strikes, we reinforce infrastructures, support vital services and pre-position supplies. As soon as a crisis occurs, we take action to protect children and guarantee them access to education, drinking water, food and healthcare.
But UNICEF’s commitment doesn’t stop there. After the crisis, we stay as long as needed to support communities and help them recover from the aftermath. For example, we are helping to rebuild infrastructures such as hospitals and schools, and providing psychosocial support to children to help them overcome trauma.
To continue to offer this vital help, we need your support. Don’t look away. Stay for the children!
