As many families around the world celebrate the holidays and enjoy the comforts of a warm home, today I am thinking about those who have nothing this holiday season.

I’m thinking about women living through their fourth year of war in Ukraine, who have to give birth underground without electricity as air raids hit hospitals and maternity wards.

I’m thinking about all those displaced in Gaza, living in flimsy tents without access to healthcare, food, or clean water as winter takes hold.

I’m thinking of the women and girls going hungry in Sudan, where famine, displacement, and violence wracks the region and steals the futures of so many.

UNFPA exists to be there for these women and for those living through conflict, famine, natural disasters, and other crises around the globe. Donations from supporters like you power this critical work.

On this special day, generous donors are extending their holiday match — meaning your gift today will have double the impact on women and girls who desperately need your support.

Only if you are able, will you please consider making a 2X-matched gift this holiday season to deliver lifesaving care to women and girls around the world?

Thank you for being there. I hope you have a happy, healthy holiday season.

Sincerely,

Sincerely,

Anu Surendran
Chief Executive Officer
USA for UNFPA
