Around the world, nearly 1 in 6 children live in or are fleeing from war and conflict.
Ongoing violence in Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Haiti and many other countries is robbing children’s lives and futures.
In the two years of the war in Ukraine, nearly 1,800 children are known to have been killed or injured since the escalation of the war in Ukraine, but the true number is likely far higher.
Millions of others whose homes, schools and futures have been destroyed live in constant fear under the sounds of ongoing bombardment and fighting.
The reality is that children are the most vulnerable to the effects of conflict — and therefore war is always ultimately waged against children.
Donate right now to help children in Ukraine — and other countries in the grips of armed conflict.
