This edition of Humanitarian Action for Children – UNICEF’s annual humanitarian fundraising appeal – describes the ongoing crises affecting children on the move, including from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, and people affected by COVID-19; the strategies that UNICEF is using to respond to these situations; and the donor support that is essential in this response.

World Vision’s intent is to equip leaders and decision makers with insights and recommendations for actions that will comprehensively prevent and address children’s protection concerns.
