Why your gift matters
Why your gift matters
Many children around the world are impacted by war, conflict, disasters and diseases in places like Gaza, Ukraine and Sudan. The impacts of emergencies like these are immense, with children already suffering from famine, 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.
