Children’s lives are under threat
At UNICEF, we are among the first to respond to humanitarian crises, from Ukraine to Gaza, wherever a child’s right to a happy, safe and healthy childhood is threatened.
Right now, millions of children are at risk. The government’s cuts to aid will mean millions of children won’t have critical healthcare, won’t have enough to eat, and will miss out on an education. Your support can help us reach those children.
Whether you decide to make a one-off donation or pledge a monthly gift, we promise that your charity donation will be used to fund vital programmes that keep children safe around the world.
Your donation could help:
- Provide childhood vaccines to keep children healthy and safe from preventable diseases.
- Build a temporary school where children can learn and find sanctuary in emergencies.
- Provide a child experiencing malnutrition with the vital nutrients they need to recover.
Read more about the impact of donations in our 2024 Annual Report.
9.3 Million
In 2024, UNICEF and our partners reached 9.3 million children with life-saving treatment for severe malnutrition.
190 countries
With your help, we work to protect children and their rights in over 190 countries.
£39
A donation of £39 could provide a set of winter clothing for a 3-year-old forcefully displaced from their home.
Why donate monthly?
As a children’s charity, we work with families, communities and governments in over 190 countries to tackle the root causes and symptoms of problems directly affecting children.
Furthermore, we work to deliver long-term support that creates lasting change for children as well as addressing their immediate needs.
When you set up a regular donation you become part of that long-term work to keep the world’s most vulnerable children safe. For example, an £18 monthly donation could buy fleecy, thermal blankets to help keep 4 babies warm.
Even a small monthly donation of £10 could provide enough life-saving therapeutic food for a child for a week.
Donate by phone
If you’re in the UK and would prefer to make a donation by phone, you can call our dedicated donation line: 0300 330 5699. For other ways you can donate please refer to our Donation FAQs.
Why donate to UNICEF?
We have done more to influence laws, policies and practices to help protect children than any other charity. As an organisation we:
- Are the biggest provider of vaccines for children in the world.
- Work with governments, communities and parents to enable access to a quality education for every child.
- Provide life-saving therapeutic food for millions of children each year through our nutrition programmes.
We receive no funding from the UN budget, so we rely entirely on voluntary donations like yours to fund our vital work to protect children in danger and build a safer world for tomorrow’s children.
Your charity donation will go to support our work around the world. Any Gift Aid claimed on donations made to this appeal will support UNICEF’s work around the world.
