Shaping a Healthier World Starts Here
For over 75 years, the World Health Organization (WHO) has led the charge to protect lives and improve health everywhere. Together, we’ve eradicated smallpox, delivered life-saving vaccines, and responded to crises impacting millions.
Every milestone achieved is proof of what we can accomplish when we come together. But today, the challenges are greater than ever. Diseases, humanitarian crises, and health emergencies are growing in scale and complexity, demanding swift, decisive action.
WHO cannot do this alone. Your support empowers WHO to respond to emergencies, stop the spread of deadly diseases, and bring life-saving care to those who need it most. Together, we can meet these challenges head-on and create healthier, safer futures for all.
Where Your Support Makes an Impact
Rapid Response to Emergencies
When crises strike—natural disasters, conflict, or disease outbreaks—WHO acts immediately. Right now in 2025 WHO is tackling 42 ongoing health emergencies, reaching 305 million people in need of urgent care.
WHO has delivered critical supplies, rebuilt health systems, and supported health workers in some of the most challenging environments. But the need is immense, and millions more are waiting for help.
Together, we can ensure every person affected by emergencies gets the care they need when they need it most.
Your support helps WHO respond faster, save more lives, and rebuild communities.
Childhood Vaccinations: A Lifeline for Generations
Vaccines save millions of lives each year, yet in 2023, 21 million children missed vital immunizations, leaving them vulnerable to diseases like polio, measles, and diphtheria.
WHO has led global vaccination efforts, reducing polio cases by 99% since 1988 and ensuring vaccines reach even the most remote communities. These efforts protect children from preventable diseases, giving them the chance to grow, thrive, and dream of brighter futures.
Together, we can ensure no child is left behind.
Your support brings life-saving vaccines to children who need them most, building healthier generations.
Stopping the Spread of Infectious Diseases
Thanks to WHO’s scientific guidelines and approval of medicines, diseases like malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV now have life-saving treatments that are affordable and widely accessible. WHO has coordinated the rollout of malaria vaccines to children in 17 African countries, while ensuring treatments for TB, HIV, and mpox reach the most vulnerable. These efforts have saved millions of lives and drastically reduced infection rates worldwide.
WHO’s global coordination ensures that outbreaks like mpox and other emerging diseases are stopped before they spread, protecting health systems and communities everywhere.
Together, we can stop the spread of deadly diseases and ensure life-saving vaccines and treatments reach everyone, everywhere.
Your support strengthens these vital efforts, saving lives and safeguarding futures for generations to come.
