Together we stand
With Generation Covid
The biggest global crisis for children since World War Two
Coronavirus is attacking the most vulnerable. It is threatening children – especially those already disadvantaged by war, disease, hunger and poverty.
In fact, 6000 children could die every day as coronavirus weakens national health systems and disrupts vital services. Without urgent action, coronavirus threatens to reverse 10 years of progress on reducing the number of children dying from preventable causes.
That’s why Unicef is launching its largest-ever appeal to tackle the impact of coronavirus on children and families around the world. Donate now.

Donate today
For the first 6 months, monthly donations made to this appeal will go towards funding Unicef’s work to support children affected by coronavirus. After that donations will go to our Children’s Emergency Fund, to save and protect children in emergencies around the world, including coronavirus and other emergencies where funds are most needed. In the unlikely event that the funds raised exceed Unicef’s funding requirements for this appeal, your one off or monthly gift will also go to our Children’s Emergency Fund.
