Winter Appeal
Deliver urgent winter supplies before they freeze
As temperatures begin to fall in some of the most impoverished, conflict-stricken communities around the world, millions of vulnerable families are facing another enemy: winter.
For those already battling hunger, displacement and unimaginable hardship, the falling temperatures bring a new threat. With little protection from the cold, families are entering the harshest months of the year without adequate shelter, warm clothing or heating. For many, the conditions they face today will only become more dangerous as winter takes hold.

Our winter response
Now is the time to act
When temperatures plunge, the consequences of inadequate shelter and prolonged exposure to the cold can become life-threatening. But the opportunity to prevent some of that suffering begins long before the first freezing night.
That is why Watan is preparing its winter response now.
With more than two decades of humanitarian experience, Watan understands the importance of reaching vulnerable communities before conditions deteriorate. Our teams are working to mobilize essential winter assistance, helping families prepare for the months ahead rather than waiting until their circumstances become desperate.
Your donations can help provide:
Warm blankets and bedding
To protect families from freezing nights.
Winter clothing
To help children and adults retain warmth as temperatures fall.
Heating essentials
To provide relief from the bitter cold where safe and appropriate.
Shelter assistance
To help vulnerable families withstand harsh winter conditions.
Every contribution helps strengthen our ability to respond early, reach those most at risk and deliver practical relief when it can make a meaningful difference.
Because the best time to protect a family from winter is before they are left exposed to its worst.
Winter has not reached its worst. There is still time to reach them before it does.
Help Watan deliver essential winter supplies to vulnerable families before the cold becomes a crisis.

Protect families and orphaned children from the biting winter cold
For families living in the aftermath of conflict, winter does not arrive in a home prepared to welcome it.
It arrives through the torn fabric of a tent, the broken windows of a damaged building and the damp floors where children are forced to sleep. It finds parents who have already exhausted their savings, lost their livelihoods and sacrificed almost everything to keep their families alive.
As the nights grow colder, the most basic necessities become increasingly difficult to secure. A warm meal, dry clothing, a safe place to sleep and enough blankets for everyone are no longer ordinary comforts, but essential protection against the elements.
For children, the elderly and those already weakened by illness or malnutrition, exposure to cold and damp conditions can carry serious health risks.
These families have already endured more than anyone should have to. They should not have to face winter unprotected.
The warning signs are already here, and every day brings us closer to the harshest conditions of the season.
