Children Winterization Kit

Description

The Children Winterization Kit ensures full winter coverage for children exposed to cold environments during displacement or crisis. It includes nine carefully selected clothing items that provide warmth, comfort, and safety during seasonal distributions.

This kit was designed to support humanitarian relief during winter, where children need multiple protective layers. For instance, the padded jacket, thermal set, and fleece pullover help retain body heat, while the boots and socks protect feet from damp and cold. Every piece is designed to work together to reduce cold-related illness and improve daily wellbeing.

In addition, all items are durable, washable, and easy to distribute in bulk. The clothing fits various sizes and follows a neutral design to suit different regions. As a result, the kit is ideal for use in winter response programs across emergency shelters, rural outreach zones, and refugee settlements.
