Leverage effect
Because of the way UNICEF works – alongside governments, local NGOs and other partners – we’re able to leverage $10 in the field for every dollar donated to us.
This means we’re able to help millions of children complete primary education and get immunized, protect at-risk kids from HIV/AIDS, and reduce the number of children under five who die every year.
Our ability to muster so much from so little is what makes us unique. It’s because we make governments listen and take action, we bring NGOs together, and we help communities mobilise and individuals act. Through our partners in the field we deliver essential services to children around the world. Make your dollar go further by donating online now.
In Peru, UNICEF money allowed Rafael Pillco to set new standards of health for infants in his Quechua village – impressing other locals to take action.
In Bangladesh, we created Meena – a cartoon character who has become a nationwide phenomenon, championing girls’ education, equality and rights throughout the country. From government ministries down to ground level, UNICEF’s Meena is making a difference.
In China, a UNICEF training programme for Buddhist monks set up in a south-west province is raising awareness about HIV/AIDS, changing behaviours, and lowering HIV infection rates.
In the Russian Federation, a modest UNICEF investment has helped children living in orphanages.
