This winter give the gift of warmth to the people of Yemen, Gaza, Syria, Iraq and Pakistan and the street children in Bangladesh. DON’T let them FREEZE, ACT NOW!This winter as temperatures plummet, millions of displaced people in refugee camps and conflict zones will have to battle the cold weather conditions. Already struck with homelessness, hunger and unsafe living conditions they are at high risk of a deadly virus, COVID-19. For children living and working on the streets of Dhaka, winter is a particularly challenging time. On the streets, the children are homeless, ill-fed, ill-clothed and devoid of parental care. Barefoot and typically with just one thin layer of clothing to their name, a cold winter’s night is a considerable hardship and increases the risk of children falling into unsafe practices as a means of generating an income or to stay warm, making them extremely vulnerable to exploitation and abuse.Gaza - £100 will provide a vulnerable family (5-7 people) in Gaza with a Winter Kit containing warm winter clothing for their children, including jackets, socks, hats and scarves, woolly jumpers and pyjamas, helping them to survive winter.Yemen - £220 will provide a Winter Kit to a vulnerable family (5-7 people) in Yemen, containing warm clothes, blankets and mattresses for the whole family, helping them to survive winter.Syria - £140 will provide an Emergency Winter Kit to a vulnerable Syrian family, containing warm blankets, sleeping mats and rugs, shelter reinforcement, fuel for heating, and soap, helping them to survive winter.Bangladesh - £100 will provide Emergency Winter Kits to 5 vulnerable children living or working on the streets of Dhaka containing warm winter clothing, helping them to survive winter.Iraq - £100 will provide a vulnerable family (5-7 people) in Iraq with an Emergency Winter Kit containing warm blankets, mattresses, stoves for heating, jerry cans for fuel, and handwashing soap, helping them to survive winter.Pakistan - £80 will provide an Emergency Winter Kit to a vulnerable family (5-7 people) in Pakistan, containing warm winter clothes, like socks, gloves, jackets, shawls and blankets, helping them to survive winter.Give the gift of warmth - Act now and help save lives and shield the dignity of vulnerable families and children.If you are a UK donor and tax payer, please remember to add Gift Aid to your donation at no extra cost to you.
