Your gift in your Will

Gifts in Wills are vital to provide funding for UNICEF's ongoing programmes around the world and allows UNICEF teams to respond at speed and at scale to save children’s lives during humanitarian emergencies.

Today, many children throughout the world are impacted by violence, hunger and poverty. And many have few of the protections we often take for granted.

When you include a gift in your Will to children it is so much more than that – it’s about leaving behind a legacy that reflects you and your values. It's a powerful act of kindness and generosity that will live on – changing the lives of the world’s most vulnerable children.

Your gift will shine a light long after you have gone, bringing hope to the future generations of children.

Leave a legacy that lasts a lifetime

By including UNICEF in your Will, you can help ensure that children everywhere are protected, educated and given the chance to thrive – not just today, but for generations to come.

Your special gift can rewrite the future

Today, many children throughout the world are impacted by violence, hunger and poverty and have few of the protections that we often take for granted. A gift in your Will goes a long way to provide much-needed humanitarian and life-saving assistance to children in danger and offers them hope for a good future.

Entrusting us with your legacy is a privilege that we take to heart. We know that your special gift will rewrite the future of many children’s lives and give them an opportunity for a brighter future.  Your gift will be the same force for good that previous gifts were for people like Agamemnon Stefanatos some 70 years ago.
