Ukraine Appeal for
Children in Crisis
Support our Ukraine appeal
After more than 4 years of full-scale war in Ukraine and almost 12 years of conflict in the eastern region, children in Ukraine are still at risk.
In the first two weeks of the new school year alone, there have been over 100 bomb alerts every single day, with at least four every hour. Schools have been damaged or destroyed by bombing and shelling.
Our Global Deputy Spokesperson, Ricardo Pires, reports that “nearly five years into the war in Ukraine, children’s right to education remains under attack, with consequences that will define an entire generation.”
We are working around the clock to help provide the critical support families need to survive and recover, including vaccines, mental health services, accessible education and cash transfers.
You can help children by donating just £10 a month, which over a year, could help at least 40 children continue their education in times of emergency and conflict.
Please donate to help protect children in Ukraine.
How are we supporting children in Ukraine?
Through the kind contributions of our supporters and partners, here are some of the ways we are working with local partners to support children in Ukraine:
- Access to safe water and sanitation: we are supporting 88 water utilities across 16 regions, helping secure sustained access to safe water and sanitation for 3,574,795 people.
- Developing safe learning environments: we are supporting children to access quality in-person and distance learning by establishing digital libraries, rehabilitating school shelter and providing psychosocial support and training teachers.
- Mental health support: We have provided mental health services to 227,784 children.
We are working closely with our partners in Poland, Moldova, Belarus, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary and Czech Republic, to help provide humanitarian support for children and families fleeing the war.
How to donate to Ukraine
One of the best ways to donate to Ukraine is through a monthly direct debit.
A monthly donation enables us to provide continuous support to children when they need it most, through vital food, access to healthcare and a safe space. Children should not have to live in fear of conflict. Your donation can help protect children in Ukraine.
Can I make a one-off donation?
If you prefer to make a single one-off donation, you can select this option on the donation form on this page or over the phone.
£25 could provide two children with access to group activities to support their mental health and psychosocial wellbeing.
Donating to Ukraine by phone
If you’re in the UK and would prefer to make a donation by phone, you can call our dedicated donation line: 0300 330 5699.
For the first 3 months, monthly donations made to the appeal will go towards funding our work to support children affected by the Ukraine conflict. After that, donations will go to support our work around the world. Any Gift Aid claimed on donations made to this appeal will support UNICEF’s work around the world.
In the unlikely event that the funds raised exceed what’s needed for the Ukraine appeal, we will direct any excess funds to support our work to help keep children safe and healthy around the world.
