Save Children from Starvation
Tax deductible
Please help children in Yemen. Millions of them are suffering from extreme starvation. It's unimaginable how much pain these little innocent children are going through. It is declared the worst humanitarian crisis by UN. I'm raising money for these helpless children. The collected money from this campaign will be donated to UNICEF USA to help children in Yemen. Any donation will help make an impact.
In Yemen, a child dies every 10 minutes from preventable causes.
In its sixth year of civil war, Yemen is on the brink of social collapse. Eighty percent of the population — 24 million people, including roughly 12 million children — are in need of humanitarian assistance. Cholera is endemic. Over 2 million children are malnourished. Some 1.7 million children have been driven from their homes by violence. Two-thirds of girls are pushed into marriage before the age of 18.
COVID-19 has compounded their suffering. Health services, already strained, are buckling. In the south, the number of people facing high levels of acute food insecurity is expected to increase from two million to over 3 million in the coming months.
“A dangerous combination of conflict, economic hardship, food scarcity and a crumbling health system has pushed millions of children in Yemen to the brink, and the COVID-19 crisis could make things even worse,” said Sherin Varkey, UNICEF’s acting Representative in Yemen. “More and more young children are at risk of becoming severely malnourished and requiring urgent treatment. Increased and sustained support is vital if we are to save these children’s lives.”
Yemen's humanitarian needs have never been more acute, or funding more constrained. Some 8.4 million Yemenis who depend on emergency water, sanitation and hygiene services (WASH) are in immediate danger of losing all access to safe water and the sanitation and handwashing facilities critically needed to stop transmission of COVID-19.
UNICEF USA continues to receive the highest ratings for accountability and transparency from Charity Navigator.
