Sydney Sock Project

Every child deserves the chance to grow up safe, healthy and full of hope. 

For the world's most vulnerable children, UNICEF's presence on the ground is much more than lifesaving support – for many, it’s also a sign of hope, a reminder that they have not been forgotten. This is only possible because of generous people like you. Every child has the right to not only survive, but thrive, no matter who they are, where they live or what they believe.  

Wear socks. Make a difference. 

UNICEF Australia has teamed up with Sydney Sock Project to help children in crisis get the support they need, from clean water and nutrition to education and emergency care.  

With every pair of socks from the UNICEF collection, a donation is made to help deliver life-changing support to vulnerable children around the world.

Help UNICEF be prepared to act in any situation

UNICEF is 100 per cent donor funded, which means our ability to reach millions of children with lifesaving vaccines, nutrition, safe drinking water, sanitation, education and protection relies entirely on the generosity and commitment of supporters like you.
