Winter clothes and shoes for children on the move in the temporary reception centers

This year, UNICEF continues to support children on the move who are staying in the temporary reception centers Ušivak and Borići. The winter season brings with it numerous challenges, especially for the youngest, who are already going through difficult life circumstances. UNICEF has committed to providing much-needed warm clothes and shoes for children.

Warm jackets, boots, hats, gloves and scarves are extremely important for children facing cold winter weather. For the youngest, who are most sensitive to temperature changes, this kind of help is not only a matter of comfort, but also of health.

"I am extremely grateful for the things I received, especially the shoes that we all really needed," said a 17-year-old boy from Egypt. "The shoes are very comfortable and perfectly suited to the current winter conditions. Besides the appearance and functionality of the shoes brought me great satisfaction, I believe that this donation made my journey easier because I have at least one less worry".

Taking into account the challenges that children on the move experience every day, ensuring appropriate winter clothing and footwear is a basic human need, which allows them to continue living in the best possible conditions. Through this donation, UNICEF is sending a clear message that no child should suffer for lack of basic resources.

Along with variety of services provided, the provision of clothes and shoes presents the direct response to the needs of every child, contributing to their satisfaction and feeling of being protected.

Thanks to donations and continued support, UNICEF continues to work to create a safe and warm environment for children on the move, giving them a chance for a better future.

The activities were provided through UNICEF's global thematic funds for crisis situations.
