Make a Difference this Holiday Season
This holiday season, you have the power to change children’s lives for the better.
Working in 190 countries and territories, UNICEF is focused on putting children first with programs in health care and immunizations, safe water and sanitation, nutrition, education, emergency relief and more.
From UNICEF Market products to items available from partners, UNICEF USA makes it possible to give gifts that make a difference in children’s lives around the world.
A specially curated online shop, UNICEF Market features handmade gifts from artisans around the globe. With each purchase, proceeds go toward lifesaving programs for children and support for the artisans. Shop their holiday picks at unicefmarket.org/holidaygiftguide.
With UNICEF Inspired Gifts, choose from hygiene kits, therapeutic food packets, backpacks and more for the organization to deliver directly to children who need it the most. As little as $19 can provide polio vaccines to protect 100 children. Visit unicefusa.org/inspiredgifts.
By connecting everyday activity to real-world impact, UNICEF Kid Power gives kids the power to save lives. Kids can learn about other cultures and places, while every step they take converts to lifesaving therapeutic food for malnourished kids. Grab a band and learn more at unicefkidpower.org.
