Charity Gifts for Mother's Day

In 2013, Mother's Day falls on Sunday, May 12, and this year UNICEF ambassador for immunisation Jimmy Barnes believes the best way to honour Aussie mums is to give them measles.

Measles claim 430 lives daily, 18 in the next hour alone. Young children are most at risk. Choose to give your mum measles and send 200 vaccines across the world to reach children where the threat of the disease is highest.

Giving your mum measles on Mother’s Day is the easiest gift to give and one that has the potential to deliver a big impact. “Go on, give your mum measles,” says Barnes. “It’s the spot-on way to make your mum proud. She’ll love it. Promise.”

Jimmy Barnes says Give Your Mum Measles This Mother's Day

A mozzie-free sleep is what mums and babies need to stay safe from malaria. In Africa, Malaria claims a child's life every 30 seconds, but with the use of something as simple as an insecticide-treated mosquito net, infection rates can be reduced by half.

Your gift of 10 nets treated with a long-lasting insect repellent will protect kids from mozzies while they sleep soundly.

Your gift gives 200 children the certainty of a life without polio, a major injection of goodwill. Causing kids serious paralysis, the aftermath of Polio will last a lifetime.

Polio is a highly contagious viral infection, and prevention via vaccination is the best solution. Globally the number of polio cases has decreased by over 99% – from 125 countries in 1990 to just four countries today. But the work is not complete. UNICEF is the leading provider of vaccines for children and your gift will support our work towards a world without polio.
