Frequently asked questions
What has UNICEF done around the world?
UNICEF works to advance and protect child rights and to provide health care, immunizations, nutrition, access to safe water and sanitation services, education, protection and emergency relief. Today UNICEF works in more than 190 countries and territories (that's all the countries in the world except for 5!) to save and improve children's lives.
Thanks to donors like you, we are able to be on the ground providing critical services and delivering supplies to the most vulnerable children. We work alongside governments, other non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and many other partners, to help ensure the biggest impact for children in need and to reach children in the most remote places. And our work is only possible thanks to your generosity and commitment to saving children's lives
What happens when I choose to "give monthly" to UNICEF?
You work hard to support children in need, and UNICEF wants to ensure we get the best out of every contribution.
That's why we have created an option for monthly donations. A monthly gift is a recurring gift amount that you choose to send each month, and it is even more impactful because you're helping children every single day.
Your monthly gift will also enable us plan effectively in our upcoming work, reduce costs and most importantly, reach even more children in need. We couldn't continue our efforts without the support and generosity of monthly donors, and we hope you'll consider joining the UNICEF family.
Is it safe to insert my bank card details on the website?
Donating online through the website is just as safe as any other online payment. UNICEF does not have access to your bank card details as that information is secured and protected by the payment processor.
