Help UNICEF protect play for every child

But can make a real difference. The money raised this year could help UNICEF protect children from disease and malnutrition, keep them safe in times of crisis, and get them back to school.
Together, we can protect play for every child so they can grow up happy, healthy, and ready to take on the world.
