UNICEF's "1Million Opportunities" initiative in Brazil is dedicated to giving young people access to high-quality education in STEM subjects (i.e. mathematics, information technology, natural sciences and technology). In doing so, they strengthen the connectivity and digital skills of children and young people and provide them with vocational training and internships to secure them a place in the job market later on.

When an emergency occurs, the first 72 hours are crucial. In this small window of time, Médecins Sans Frontières must be on site with the necessary equipment and supplies to save lives. The Rapid Intervention Surgical Kit (RISK Kit for short) was developed for this purpose. The RISK kit is basically a mini operating theater that can be transported by hand. This enables "Ärzte ohne Grenzen" (Doctors Without Borders) to move quickly and set up a small operating theater at any time in areas that are difficult to access.

In 2023, UNICEF supported 1,328,602 children in accessing formal or non-formal education, including early learning opportunities through the UNICEF Education Fund for Ukraine. This year, the education initiative will continue and aims to ensure continuous learning opportunities for Ukrainian children and young people.

To ensure continuity of care in Ukraine and respond to emerging mental health needs, MSF mobile clinic teams of psychologists, doctors and health advisors are supporting patients and communities with medical and psychological consultations, medical and non-medical donations, and improving the capacity of the health system by rebuilding health facilities and training health workers.  

The Austrian Red Cross offers so-called learning houses for affected minors at 12 locations throughout Austria. There, children and young people from socially disadvantaged or educationally disadvantaged families recognize their potential and are supported in pursuing their own educational path. They are guided in the interplay of education, self-esteem and the recognition of their own skills and are shown new perspectives.

The organization distributes emergency aid packages that provide families and people in need with food and everyday products. Blankets and warm clothing are also distributed at the help points.
In concrete terms, Hilfswerk International can fill an entire emergency aid package with 38 euros to support a Ukrainian family. The contents of the packages are adjusted monthly to the actual needs of the people and include food and hygiene products. The emergency aid packages are then distributed together with local partner organizations and the population.
