Sam's Clipper race fundraiser for UNICEF UK
Samantha Hanley is raising money for UNICEF UK
Story
UNICEF has been both a Charity and Team Partner for the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race since the 2015-16 edition and during this time has raised £1.6 million for children around the world.
I'm excited to be able to raise money for such a great cause as part of my adventure - racing from Seattle to Washington on leg 7 and spending 40 days at sea!
UNICEF has 15,000 people working for children in more than 190 countries, responding to emergencies and building long-term resilience. We save children's lives with vaccines, clean water, and therapeutic food. We protect children from violence, exploitation, and abuse. We empower children through quality education. And we seek to create a safe and sustainable world where children can live, learn and grow.
Every pound you donate makes a difference to every child, every day, everywhere.
- £165 could buy a wheelchair for a child with limited mobility
- £275 could buy a midwifery kit containing all of the medicines, medical supplies and sterilisation equipment for a maternity ward to support the delivery of 50 babies
