Emergency aid for children and families

Thousands of children and their families are affected by the earthquake in the Turkish-Syrian border area and need urgent help - UNICEF is on site to ensure medical care, drinking water supply and child protection.

A silent catastrophe: malnutrition in the Sahel

According to estimations, more than one million children in eight countries are threatened by severe malnutrition in the next months. Because of droughts, poor harvests, high food costs and extreme poverty, many families cannot feed themselves with enough food.

The situation in Ukraine and the region continues to be devastating and the on-going violence has created a child rights crisis.  Children  are in urgent need of support. UNICEF is working in Ukraine and many neighbouring countries to provide families - who have fled the war - with medical care, psychosocial and educational support, and urgently needed relief supplies. UNICEF and its partners have set up contact points for families. In refugee-hosting countries, UNICEF is supporting governments to ensure access to services, protection and social assistance for Ukrainian children, their families and host communities.

Help for refugee children in Syria

More than a million children are fleeing the gun fire and millions more are caught in Syria in the midst of the battle. These children desperately need help. They are missing the necessities. UNICEF provides them with drinking water, medications and other items essential for survival.

UNICEF hat in den vergangenen Jahren in Griechenland tausende geflüchtete und migrierte Kinder und ihre Familien unterstützt. Dazu gehört es, sicherzustellen, dass diese Mädchen und Jungen Zugang zu Kinderschutzmaßnahmen, psychosozialer Unterstützung, Gesundheitsversorgung und Bildung erhalten.

A place in the classroom for every child

Every child has a right on education. Though, in African countries south of the Sahara, every third child does not attend school. Many families are too poor to pay the school material for their children. Qualified teachers are missing and the AIDS epidemic tightens the situation-

For the children's right on water

Clear drinking water and hygienic life cirumstances are essential for survival and a premise for the healthy upgrowth of children. And it saves time and power for school, when children do not need to take hours to get clear water. 

Education gives girls and boys around the world hope for a better life. But many children never get the chance to go to school. Many live in poverty and in remote regions where access to an education is difficult. Conflict and discrimination are also factors that inhibit education.  Girls are particularly affected by these challenges. With the international education initiative, "Let Us Learn", UNICEF helps disadvantaged children in five countries: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Liberia, Madagascar and Nepal. The goal is to give the most marginalized girls and boys access to quality education.

UNICEF hilft in der derzeit größten humanitären Krise der Welt

Die UNICEF-Nothilfe im Jemen versorgt Kinder mit therapeutischer Spezialnahrung und stellt überlebenswichtige Covid-19-Impfdosen zur Verfügung.
