UNICEF Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Officer, Nguyen Hong Hanh, readying water purification tablets for distribution to communities affected by Typhoon Yagi

On 7 September 2024, Super Typhoon Yagi, the strongest storm in Viet Nam in 70 years, impacted the lives of millions of children and families. Health facilities, water infrastructure, and schools sustained severe damage, while 3 million people lack access to safe drinking water and 2.4 million school children are at risk of disrupted education. Over 3,000 homes were destroyed, and 272,000 hectares of farmland severely affected, pushing millions of families into further vulnerability.

As part of the initial response, UNICEF has already distributed water purification tablets, storage tanks, and hygiene supplies, while rapidly mobilizing additional resources to meet the urgent needs of affected children and families and to support their recovery.

What are UNICEF Inspired Gifts?

Inspired Gifts are a collection of charity gifts essential for child survival and development. They provide crucial aid to children living in areas affected by poverty, conflict or natural disaster. When you order an Inspired Gift for family or friends, real supplies like vaccines and food are shipped from UNICEF’s massive warehouse in Copenhagen to children and families in need around the world.

With each purchase you can personalise a card for your nominated recipient that tells them about the incredible impact their Inspired Gift will have. You can choose to send the card in an email at a time of your choosing or receive it instantly as a print-at-home PDF.

Are Inspired Gifts real?

Yes, they are. All of the Inspired Gifts you see on our website are real, tangible items being distributed year-round in response to the needs of children around the world.

When will my e-card be delivered?

You can choose when you want the recipient to receive the e-card or send a print-at-home PDF card to yourself and it will be delivered immediately.

Will I get a card for each Inspired Gift I purchase? 

Yes, you’ll receive a card for each gift! You can also specify a unique email (or PDF) for each card. Just select your Inspired Gifts, personalise the messages, choose your card designs, and specify delivery details for each recipient.

Is there a guarantee that the gift I select is the gift that will be delivered to the field?

Inspired Gifts respond to the real and changing needs of children around the world, so the item you select will be substituted for another item when there is a greater need for it. This means we cannot guarantee that the gift you select is the one that will be delivered to the field. We hope that through your purchase you are trusting us to deliver the supplies that will have the most impact for children in urgent need.
