Retirement often brings a deeper awareness of the world’s challenges, leading us to reflect on the future for our loved ones and vulnerable children everywhere. While it’s a time to enjoy the important things in life, it’s also a period when our concern for the state of the world can become more pronounced.

By supporting UNICEF Australia with a charitable bequest in our Wills, we can continue to make a powerful difference to the lives of future generations.

The Impact of Leaving a Gift in Your Will

By leaving a gift in your Will to UNICEF Australia, you would help countless children transition from crisis to stability, in Australia and across the globe.

UNICEF empowers children by ensuring they have the resources, protection, and opportunities they need to build brighter futures. To continue this critical work, UNICEF relies entirely on the kindness and generosity of donors. Without that compassionate support, UNICEF wouldn’t be able to continue their work, helping to save more children’s lives than any other humanitarian organisation.

Many Australians are inspired by UNICEF’s unfailing resolve to improve the lives of children around the world, and by including a gift in their Will to UNICEF Australia they are already making a difference in many ways, such as:

  • Enabling UNICEF to deliver 6.2 million doses of the world’s first malaria vaccine to seven African countries.
  • Helping UNICEF to provide over 40,000 Syrian children living in refugee camps in Za’atari with clean drinking water, nearby health facilities, schools and playgrounds.
  • Allowing 7.7 million children and adolescents (51% girls) to access education, including 3.1 million children on the move and 17.7 million children in emergencies.

UNICEF is dedicated to ensuring every child, no matter where they are, has the opportunity to reach their full potential. From providing life-saving aid to vulnerable children in crisis to supporting education and development programs around the world, UNICEF’s work impacts millions of young lives.

Thai Dang, now living in Brisbane, is deeply passionate about UNICEF’s global mission. Having been helped by UNICEF during his early childhood in Vietnam, he credits the organisation with saving his life and is a strong advocate for leaving a charitable bequest to UNICEF Australia.
