Overnight their lives changed. When the war broke out in Ukraine, Oleksandr and Venera lost everything. Their priority was their two-year-old son Makar, who has Down Syndrome. Cash assistance from UNICEF is helping the family as they piece their lives back together.

Tens of thousands of children in Mozambique have been impacted by Tropical Storm Freddy. The storm destroyed homes and buildings and caused flooding - putting children’s safety and health at risk. UNICEF is providing assistance, bringing critical supplies to affected families.
