For every child in need. No matter what.
UNICEF is the world’s largest children’s charity, working to protect and improve the lives of every child, no matter who they are or where they live. Run entirely on voluntary donations, our teams are on the ground in over 190 countries, working with local partners to deliver lifesaving support before, during and after emergencies. From vaccinating children in war zones to advocating for every child, we’re always there. No matter what.
Paddington's Postcards

How we spend your money
UNICEF Australia is 100 per cent donor funded. Every year, UNICEF reaches half the world’s children with lifesaving vaccines, provides over 35 million people with access to safe water and supports health centres where 1 in 4 babies worldwide are born. These are just some of the ways you’re helping UNICEF to make a difference to the world’s children.
During emergencies, 80 cents of every dollar goes directly to UNICEF's emergency response, and the remaining 20 cents supports essential operations to keep that help moving quickly and effectively.
