The fund will help create a safe environment for refugee children
UNICEF UK has been awarded £1.4 million from the Isle of Man's International Development Fund to help create a safe environment for Syrian refugee children.
The money will be used to provide care services to 12,500 children along with education to 1,200 parents and caregivers.
It will also be used to raise awareness of child protection issues of Syrian refugees in Iraq.
UNICEF UK is the second of the two charities selected to receive International Development Partnership funding in 2021.
Send a Cow was also awarded funding to help people affected by climate change issues in rural Africa.
The aim is to create long-term partnerships between the Isle of Man government and a small number of respected international charities to facilitate lasting and sustainable change.
