With your support, we provide life-saving food, medicine and clean water to children. The most vulnerable and disadvantaged children are our priority. Ibrahim’s story Thirteen-year-old Ibrahim* was forced to flee Syria with his family almost two years ago when the bombing intensified. Just a week after they left, their house was completely destroyed. Ibrahim missed two years of school because of the conflict, but now has a place at a local school in Irbid thanks to Unicef. We are working to make sure that local Jordanian schools have the resources they need to cope with the large numbers of Syrian refugee children. Thanks to your support, Unicef has provided 2.8 million children with educational supplies as well as Unicef-supported safe spaces where they can take part in activities such as football and have access to a social worker. 1.
