So often, the harms of armed conflict fall most heavily on children and the individuals & institutions which care for them. One way you can help is through groups like @UNICEFCanada. Thinking of those caring for children in Ukraine and conflict zones around the world.
@ChildHealthCan & @PedChairsCan are collaborating with @UNICEFCanada to facilitate fundraising to address several urgent children’s healthcare priorities in Ukraine. Donations will help UNICEF meet these urgent needs in Ukraine.
