How is UNICEF helping children and families?

UNICEF is working around the clock with partners to scale up life-saving programmes for children. 

Inside Ukraine, UNICEF and partners have:

• Distributed life-saving health and medical supplies to reach around 3.8 million children and families.
• Reached around 35,000 households with multi-purpose cash assistance.
• Helped more than 3.1 million people access safe water in areas where networks have been damaged or destroyed.
• Helped more than 288,000 children through the provision of learning supplies.
• Reached over 1.3 million children and caregivers with mental health and psychosocial support.
• Assisted around 60,000 children through case management and referral services.

In countries hosting Ukrainian refugees, UNICEF has:

• Supported national, municipal and local systems that deliver essential services and protection, particularly for the most vulnerable children, including through: anti-trafficking training for border guards; expanding learning opportunities and integrating refugee children into schools; procuring vaccines and medical supplies; and establishing play and learning hubs that provide young children with a much-needed sense of normalcy and respite.
• Been working with local governments to conduct summer programmes in preparation for the start of the new school year in September.
• Worked with UNHCR and partners to activate Blue Dot hubs – one-stop safe spaces for children and women. Blue Dots provide key information to traveling families, help to identify unaccompanied and separated children and ensure their protection.
