No country could have been better prepared.

But the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan last Friday wiped
entire towns off the map and shifted the island nation 8 feet.
Aftershocks continued through the weekend, some larger than the quake
that struck Haiti. And now the children of Japan face a looming nuclear
disaster.

These children have seen their world washed away. UNICEF is thinking of
them around the clock. And no one does a better job of caring for kids
in emergencies.

Help
children in Japan: Donate to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF’s emergency
appeal for the children affected by the quake and tsunami.

Japan is usually the supporter in times of crisis, generously giving
to UNICEF’s emergency programs around the world. Now it’s time to be
there for them: due to the unprecedented nature of this disaster, UNICEF
is sending funds to Japan to help children who have survived this epic
disaster cope with the crisis ahead.

The Japanese children who survived last week’s catastrophe need medical
attention, protection from further harm, as well as support to help them
cope in the aftermath of this horrifying trauma. UNICEF aims to
supplement Japan’s existing resources to make sure that every child has a
safe space to recover.

You can be there for the children of Japan. Donate now.

For 60 years, the people of Japan have given generously to
UNICEF, so that less fortunate children around the world had a brighter
future. Today, the children of Japan need our help. It is a privilege to
show them the same generosity and empathy.

Stand with us as we work with our Japanese colleagues to provide comfort
and relief to the tens of thousands of children in Japan who
desperately need our help.
