From survival to safety, help us reach more children this holiday season with Inspired Gifts

Many children around the world are still living in ongoing emergency situations in places like Sudan, Ukraine and Gaza. The impacts of emergencies like these are immense, with children already suffering from malnutrition, disease and displacement. 

Inspired Gifts represent critical items UNICEF is delivering right now to support the world’s most vulnerable children. When you buy an Inspired Gift, you are making a donation to UNICEF, helping to fund our wide-reaching work. Whether they are in conflict zones, displacement camps or in the most remote regions across mountains and oceans, we will do whatever it takes to reach every child. 

UNICEF is committed to supporting children before, during and after emergencies. In fact, we're able to deliver lifesaving supplies in as little as 48 hours when an emergency strikes, because of generosity and kindness from people like you.

Please, be generous so we can be fearless in our delivery for children.

FAQ

Inspired Gifts are a collection of charity gifts essential for child survival and development. They provide crucial aid to children living in areas affected by poverty, conflict or natural disaster. When you order an Inspired Gift for family or friends, real supplies like vaccines and food are shipped from UNICEF’s warehouse in Copenhagen to children and families in need around the world.

With each purchase you can personalise a card for your nominated recipient that tells them about the incredible impact their Inspired Gift will have. You can choose to send the card in the mail or receive it instantly as a print-at-home PDF or an e-card.

If you choose to order a printed card, you should allow 10 working days for delivery. While we process all orders as efficiently as possible, please note that we are unable to control the timing of postage delivery through Australia Post.

Inspired Gifts respond to the real and changing needs of children around the world, so the item you select will be substituted for another item when there is a greater need for it. This means we cannot guarantee that the gift you select is the one that will be delivered to the field. We hope that through your purchase you are trusting us to deliver the supplies that will have the most impact for children in urgent need.

Inspired Gifts from UNICEF Australia are indeed charity gifts. Each purchase supports vital programmes benefiting children globally, offering tangible items like vaccines or educational supplies. Choosing an Inspired Gift honours someone while making a significant charitable impact in their name.
