Dear Friend,

In September 2017, Hurricanes Irma and Maria devastated several islands in the eastern Caribbean. Damage was widespread. Homes and livelihoods were lost.

With your support, UNICEF immediately responded to address the needs of the thousands of children affected.

Your investment allowed UNICEF and partners to:

Provide 16,000 children with psychosocial support to cope with trauma
Train 1,600 facilitators in UNICEF’s Return to Happiness intervention, giving kids a safe place to play and regain normalcy
Enable more than 24,000 children to return to school
Restore safe water access for 67,000 people

As the response continues, UNICEF is helping to build resilience and strengthen preparedness for future disasters.

On behalf of the children of the eastern Caribbean, thank you again for your generous support.
