What do they do?
UNICEF - the United Nations Children’s Fund - is the world’s leading agency for children. UNICEF works closely with children, women and communities as well as governments, other UN agencies, faith-based groups, non-government organisations and the private sector to create a better world for every child.
How can I get involved?
Fundraise – Put the ‘fun’ back into fundraising! Take part in a run, cycle, or swim while raising money for UNICEF. It’s easy to make your own fundraising web page!
Campaign for Change - Make some noise and help shape better policies and practices for children. Whether you write to your local MP about an issue affecting children, fill out one of our surveys or sign a petition, you’re helping affect change for a new generation of kids. Join UNICEF’s Campaigners for Change by emailing takeaction@unicef.org.nz for further updates.
Buy an Inspired Gift – Does your Dad need another pair of socks? Why not help girls in Ghana go to school instead? Purchase a bicycle for a girl in Ghana from our online shop and help give a better future to children!
Donate - Your donation will go further with UNICEF! For every dollar donated, we can leverage $10 for children who need your help.
Volunteer - There are a number of ways that you can get involved with UNICEF NZ as a volunteer:
- You can help out in their Wellington office with administration duties
- You can help them with fundraising events
- If you think you have some specific skills and experience that will be of value to them then you can apply for an internship
