Previous Winter Appeals
Winter Emergency Appeal
The warmth of a shared hearth can melt even the coldest of winters’. Yet this year, for countless individuals, winter promises not warmth, but an icy solitude.
Winter tragically increases the burden on vulnerable families worldwide.
For communities enduring hardships, staying warm means making impossible choices. As frosty winds threaten, let us unite to bring warmth and hope by contributing to our winter emergency appeal.
As the winter months deepen, vulnerable populations in regions like Gaza, Lebanon, Nepal, Pakistan face unprecedented challenges. Many families, already displaced by conflict, find themselves in temporary shelters, grappling with the scarcity of basic needs and the harsh cold.
Our Winter Appeal serves as an essential resource for these communities in crisis. Through your support, we can deliver critical assistance such as food supplies, hygiene kits, shelter repair materials, firewood, and vouchers for warm clothing. Each contribution you make not only aids in survival but also instills a sense of hope among those who are most in need.
We urge you to consider the impact of your support. Together, we can provide relief and make a tangible difference in the lives of many. Please join us in this vital effort to alleviate suffering and promote human dignity during these trying times. Your generosity is their lifeline.
