Leave a gift in your will
A gift in your Will is more than a donation. It's a powerful way to create a better future for generations to come.
UNICEF reaches children wherever the need is greatest, delivering clean water, nutrition, health care, education and emergency support when disasters strike. By including UNICEF Aotearoa in your Will, you help ensure children have the opportunity to survive, thrive and reach their full potential.

"There is so much inequity in society these days and the people who bear the brunt of that are children. So the more we can do to educate children, the more we can do to actually build their health, to build their cultural point of reference, the more they will have a happy life and a future."
Steven Yin
“Leaving a legacy gift is a way of letting your values live on. It has the power to create a new opportunity for someone else. In this way your gift becomes a continuation of life, a chance to live again through the hope, and growth and possibilities you inspire in others.”
Sylvia Findlay
“I have a positive view of the future for children. It’s up to the grown-ups, to provide the sort of world that we want children to grow up in. What could be better than leaving a gift to an organisation that cares for and looks after the next generation.”
Krystyna Downey
"I support good organisations which are doing good things. Not because it makes me feel better, but it’s helping those organisations do the work that they are doing, and they are doing a wonderful job."
