Make your biggest impact yet when you join UNICEF as a monthly donor

With your monthly donation, you’re working together with UNICEF for the survival, protection and development of children in more than 190 countries around the world.

Did you know? Today, there are more children in need of humanitarian assistance than at any other time since the Second World War.

Thanks to the regular support from our donors and partners, UNICEF is capable of delivering pre-positioned life-saving supplies within 48 hours at the onset of an emergency anywhere in the world– whether it’s a conflict or a disaster.

By starting a monthly gift, you’ll help reach children as soon as an emergency hits with medical supplies, safe drinking water, and life-saving therapeutic food.

From war in Gaza to devastating earthquakes in Afghanistan, your generous contribution can ensure that UNICEF is always there, for children, acting quickly, whenever and wherever needed.

In times of crisis, your monthly donation can make all the difference

Every year, we respond to hundreds of emergencies like the ones in Afghanistan and Gaza. Our ability to reach any part of the world with urgent relief supplies including medical supplies, shelter, life-saving therapeutic food, safe water, and vaccines in the event of a disaster, is a testament to our collective commitment to every child in need.

When you give again to UNICEF, you will help meet the urgent needs of more children in emergencies by:

  • Pre-position supplies in regions prone to emergencies due to climate or political sensitivities.
  • Prepare in advance and ensure the availability of funds for long-term solutions that will positively impact children.
  • Address the immediate as well as long-term needs of children by providing safe environments for play, learning, and medical assistance when crises occur

But we can’t do it alone. We need your help to always be there for every child, whenever and wherever they’re in crisis.

I was once a victim of a crisis. The experience was tough. The man who accommodated us treated us nicely. I know there are a lot of people out there who need help daily. To me, it doesn't matter whether you have all or not. With the little you have; you can put a smile on someone else's face.
