The situation
Providing fast and effective assistance where it is needed is the core of UNICEF’s emergency relief, for 75 years and in over 190 countries. The Children’s Fund has a broad range of experience coupled with in-depth knowledge, and is constantly improving its methodology.
Disasters and crises usually occur unexpectedly and cause immeasurable suffering for tens of thousands, sometimes even millions of children. Providing emergency relief requires the organization to be very well prepared to respond quickly and effectively to various forms of disasters: The immediate deployment of urgently needed relief supplies is a key prerequisite. To ensure this, UNICEF needs funds. By donating to the UNICEF Switzerland and Liechtenstein Emergency Relief Fund, you can ensure the timely provision of relief supplies and help save children’s lives in crisis situations and disasters around the world.
How UNICEF helps
Wherever crises threaten the lives of children, UNICEF is one of the first organizations on the ground, delivering essential relief supplies and offering children comprehensive assistance and protection. The Children’s Fund also advocates for children in “forgotten conflicts” and emergencies that are not, or no longer, in the public eye. Our commitment focuses on the following cornerstones:
- Health and nutrition: essential vaccinations, therapeutic foods and medicines
- Water, sanitation and hygiene: providing clean drinking water, constructing latrines and distributing hygiene items
- Child protection: registering children, establishing child-friendly zones and providing psychological support
- Education: setting up temporary schools and daycares, and rebuilding schools
The UNICEF Switzerland and Liechtenstein Emergency Relief Fund ensures that relief supplies are purchased before a disaster hits and can be put to use right away.
