UNICEF Ukraine Appeal to Help Children in Haiti

Dear GC members, below is the UNICEF Ukraineappeal for your consideration and possible support. Disasters have no nationality. Best regards, GC Secretariat

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

On behalf of the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), we are appealing for your help to children in Haiti, devastated by the earthquake that struck on 12 January this year. Up to 2 million children are at risk in Haitiright now. Separated from their families. Countless newly orphaned. Desperate and lost.

UNICEF is conducting an intensive relief operation in Haiti; we are reaching children with life-saving support. We continue daily delivery of critical life-saving supplies such as water, nutrition, shelter and medicine: so far, UNICEF supplies for 250,000 children have arrived and are being distributed.

Children in Haitihave nowhere to go. No homes, no hospitals, no government aid centers. There is literally nothing beyond what we and the rest of the relief community can provide. Unaccompanied children are especially vulnerable to disease, malnutrition and exploitation, including trafficking. They need urgent assistance as well as, in many cases, long-term support.

We are calling for your help to Haitian children. Every moment matters: you can make a donation and 100% of every dollar to the UNICEF Ukraine will go directly to fund child-saving relief efforts in Haiti.

 

More information on how to make the donation you can learn at the UNICEF Ukraine web-site www.unicef.org.ua or you can make a direct transfer to the bank account below:
