Coronavirus children’s crisis appeal
Together we must REIMAGINE a fairer world for every child.
The urgent action we take today can prevent the COVID-19 pandemic from becoming a lasting crisis for children, especially the most vulnerable.
There is no time to lose. Without immediate funding and key lifesaving interventions to deliver essentials, strengthen health systems and maintain routine services for vulnerable children, an additional 6,000 children under five could die a day – more than 4 children every minute – due to the direct impact of COVID-19.
We need you to help us Respond, Recover and Reimagine a world we can build back better for every child. Join us.
"This is a race against time."
RESPOND with vital supplies
Soap, gloves, masks and access to clean water are a lifeline to children and their families. You can give them a fighting chance with access to the basics. Your donation helps UNICEF deliver life-saving medicine, nutritious food and vaccines.
Help communities RECOVER
COVID-19 isn’t just tackling under-resourced fragile health systems, it’s attacking the way children access education, the way their families earn an income to cover their needs, and how safe they feel in their homes, communities and countries. This is a child right’s crisis. Right now, UNICEF staff is on the ground doing everything in our power to ensure that children don't feel the impact of this crisis for decades to come.
Help us REIMAGINE a world that is fit for every child
For more than 70 years, UNICEF has responded to some of the biggest crises our world has faced. We’ve been on the front lines of every pandemic, epidemic, famine and conflict since World War II. We have the experience, tools and partners to not only help communities recover, but also to help them build back better. History shows we can do it. Are you with us?
