Race for Change

Aer Lingus appeals for UNICEF have helped save children's lives - you can help these urgent efforts today.

Build a brighter future by supporting children in urgent need

 

Aer Lingus has been a proud partner of UNICEF Ireland since 1997.

Thanks to funds raised by their customers and staff, UNICEF has been able to provide children around the world with life-saving nutrition and clean waterwhile championing education and protecting them from harm. 

By supporting UNICEF through the staff relay race, you can help us build a brighter future for every child – before, during and after emergencies strike.

DONATE NOW

Aer Lingus appeals have supported children in countries like Mozambique, where UNICEF provides nutritious food to malnourished babies like 9-months-old Aive.

Millions of children need you today

 

Right now, millions of children are in crisis, facing hunger, war, disease, and climate disasters.

UNICEF is on the ground, delivering lifesaving aid where it’s needed most.

We’ve provided 6.2 million malaria vaccines, fought malnutrition by treating 210 million children in just one year, and ensured access to clean water, healthcare, and education to millions more. But the need is growing fast.

Without urgent support, countless children will suffer. Their future hangs in the balance – your donation can save lives today.

Children and young people are our best hope for creating a better and more peaceful world. With your support, we can help them build it.

Your support can save lives

 

Aer Lingus appeals for UNICEF have helped save the lives of children around the world.

In countries like Ukraine, Somalia, Yemen, and Ethiopia, support from Aer Lingus customers is making the world a better place for children.

Walaa is one of the children UNICEF has been able to help thanks to support from people like you.

At just four years old, she had been displaced three times in war-torn Sudan – witnessing intense bombardments and even spending weeks hiding in a forest.

Trauma left her withdrawn, fearful, and silent. But at a UNICEF child-friendly space she is slowly recovering. Small but vital progress – drawing, speaking, and expressing emotion – marks her path to healing. With psychosocial support, children like Walaa can reclaim their childhood.

Support UNICEF today – because you can help save a child’s life.
