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.
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 raise will make a difference to every child, every day, everywhere.
- A donation of £165 could buy a wheelchair for a child with limited mobility
- A donation of £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
In South Africa, Justice Desk’s Youth Ambassadors Programme ‘Ubuntu Rising’ empowers young people to become leaders in creating safer communities and ending school violence. UNICEF supports this programme that trains young people to be agents of change, equipping them with the knowledge and tools to lead initiatives that focus on preventing gender-based violence to help build safe, inclusive environments for everyone.
