AXA Investment Managers is
supporting UNICEF UK to protect
children in Ukraine
Conflict is escalating in Ukraine, putting millions of children and their families in immediate danger.
The whole child population of Ukraine, 7.5 million children, are now at risk as the conflict continues to escalate. With explosions in major cities across the country and thousands of families being forced to flee their homes, UNICEF is calling for an immediate ceasefire.
Hundreds of thousands of children in Ukraine have already been affected as the conflict in the east of the country enters its eighth year. As the conflict escalates, many more children are at risk, and thousands of families have been forced to flee for safety. Homes, schools, water supplies and hospitals have been damaged. Explosives including landmines are a daily threat to children’s lives.
UNICEF is especially concerned for the safety and wellbeing of children who have become separated from their families.
We are working round the clock to keep families safe.
Please donate to help protect children in Ukraine.
How UNICEF is helping children in Ukraine
We have been working tirelessly to keep children safe since this conflict began eight years ago and we are determined to remain in Ukraine to reach the most vulnerable children and families.
- We are helping to provide families with access to clean water and healthy food.
- We are delivering lifesaving supplies to support families who have been forced to flee and are working closely with local health facilities to ensure they have the vital supplies needed.
- We are helping to make sure that child protection services continue.
- We are working with our partners and the UNHCR to assess the refugee situation across neighbouring countries.
- In neighbouring countries we are delivering Blue Dot safe spaces with our partners, which will provide care and support, information to families seeking refuge, psychosocial support, water and sanitation supplies, safe spaces for mothers and children, protection for unaccompanied and separated children and more.
