Promises are powerful. We make them to family, friends, and ourselves, to show our love and commitment. Keeping a promise is not just about words; it is about who we are.

Nora Achmaoui and Khalid Alherani, social media influencers and loving parents, are joining UNICEF to turn their support from words into action and bring real change to children’s lives.

Promises become lifelines

Your promise can provide a monthly lifeline for children who need urgent humanitarian aid as conflict, displacement, and economic crises threaten their lives and futures. These children depend on UNICEF’s support to receive treatment for malnutrition, access safe drinking water, return to school, and dream again.
