You have the power to change children’s lives long after your own lifetime.
By gifting a legacy or bequest to UNICEF, you will make a tangible difference to impoverished and vulnerable children.
Our life-saving work relies entirely on voluntary donations, and bequests are an extremely valued and important income. They ensure we can plan our long-term work for future generations of children.
UNICEF is the world’s leading advocate for children, working in 190 countries and saving more children’s lives than any other humanitarian organisation. We work with all children everywhere, regardless of religion, ethnicity or background.
We welcome your inquiries about leaving a legacy to children. Please contact John Daysh, UNICEF’s Bequest Manager, who will be happy to talk to you. John can send you a Legacy Information Pack, or if you would prefer, can arrange to visit you. You can call John free on 0800 243 575 or e-mail john@unicef.org.nz
Or can you see if we answer your query in UNICEF's Frequently Asked Questions about Legacies.

Helen Grofski, A special UNICEF supporter
“I have never had the joy and responsibility of raising children but as I travelled on my journey through life and around the world I was very aware that so many children exist in what are hopeless situations."Like many other New Zealanders, I have supported various charities, but when I heard of the UNICEF Kora Lang Society I was interested because through the work of UNICEF I will still be involved with the care of needy children long after I have passed on.”
Helen is a retired nurse, and she has included UNICEF in her Will.
She is a celebrated member of the UNICEF Kora Lang Society.
