Become a UNICEF Global Parent for every child and get a limited-edition Ken Done tea towel

In a world where countless children face devastating challenges like the earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria, the war in Ukraine, or the severe food crisis in Somalia, you might be wondering how you can get involved and make a difference. 

By supporting the charity UNICEF, you can become a monthly donor to children in need and join their community of Global Parents, enabling the organisation to carry out its life-saving initiatives. 

As a leading global charity, UNICEF dedicates its efforts to offering on-the-ground support to children in emergency zones by providing vital medical supplies, safe drinking water, life-saving food and offering child-friendly spaces – saving more lives than any other charity in the world. 

So, how can you help to contribute to a brighter future for children in need? 

Monthly giving is the most effective way to provide sustainable support for children.

Monthly donations allow UNICEF to work alongside partners in more than 190 countries, ensuring their presence on the ground and on-hand supplies for unexpected emergencies and long-term development projects.  

The ongoing support of monthly donors helps the charity respond to emergencies at a moment’s notice, shipping supplies and being on the ground in just 48 hours.

When you choose to donate, your money goes towards: 

• Keeping extra supplies in areas where emergencies are likely to occur because of climate conditions or political instability.
• Responding to children’s needs, giving them safe spaces to play, learn and receive medical support at a moment’s notice when a crisis happens.
• Planning ahead and being ready, knowing that they have the funds ready to invest in long-term solutions to make a lasting impact for children facing devastation.

Becoming a UNICEF Global Parent

When you choose to start a monthly donation for UNICEF, you become part of the Global Parent family, supporting the charity’s mission to be there for every child, before, during and after emergencies. 

Being 100 per cent donor-funded, the charity relies on these monthly contributions to continue to make a lasting impact on the lives of children in need. Just a small monthly give can make an enormous impact.

“Anything that we can do to help the most vulnerable children in the world is so important, and becoming a Global Parent is a great way to do that,” UNICEF Ambassador and Global Parent Ken Done said.

“Like with this terrible earthquake in Türkiye, in Syria, you saw each night the rubble, the devastation, the people being pulled out. And almost inevitably, somewhere in that shot, you’ll see somebody wearing UNICEF blue.”  

What you get for giving

Aside from knowing you’re making a difference in the lives of children across the globe, for a limited time only, and to thank you for signing up to become a Global Parent by starting a monthly donation, you will receive your choice of an exclusive cotton tea towel featuring one of Ken Done’s stunning designs.

“These designs I hope will remind you every day of the needs of some of the most vulnerable children in the world and show that with UNICEF’s help, we can look for a better life for them,” Ken Done said. 

On top of a beautiful tea towel inspired by love and hope, your donations will also give you: 

• Exclusive tickets to events and webinars with UNICEF workers and partners.
• Regular updates on the impact of your monthly donations.
• An annual tax statement.

From war and famine to natural disasters, Global Parents are the backbone of UNICEF, enabling the charity to fulfil its mission of always being there for the children, acting quickly, whenever and wherever is needed.
