Double your impact for children!

I have great news. We’ve just learned that two of our donors have generously offered to match all year-end donations received by December 31st, up to $50,000. Their commitment to children is extraordinary, as is yours. I hope you’ll take this opportunity to double your impact for children. The children need you more than ever. This year has been a devastating one for children around the world. But you can make a difference. An estimated 230 million children currently live in areas affected by armed conflicts – from Central African Republic to Syria, from Iraq to South Sudan. But the sheer number of crises this past year means that many received little attention – protracted crises in countries like Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen continued to claim even more young lives and futures. This year has also posed significant new threats to children’s health and well-being, most notably the Ebola outbreak in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, which has left thousands of children orphaned and an estimated 5 million out of school. Still, despite the tremendous challenges children have faced in 2014, there has been progress. With our supporters by our side, UNICEF has worked to provide life-saving assistance and other critical services like education and emotional support to help children around the world. With your gift today, you can help us keep doing that. Together, we can do even more for children and make 2015 a better year for every child. Thank you. David Morley President & CEO, UNICEF Canada P.S. Don’t forget: your donation by December 31st will be doubled, up to $50,000!
