Malnourished one-and-half year old Cherline Noel, eats a high-energy biscuit in a 'baby tent' in a displacement camp in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

Malnutrition remains a major threat to children's health in Haiti. Around 25% of children have low birthweight, and approximately 22% of children under age five suffer moderate to severe malnutrition. As many as 300,000 Haitian children suffer from chronic malnutrition, and up to half of child deaths in the country are caused by malnutrition.

Complicating this situation is the country's slow recovery from multiple natural disasters and ongoing social issues that have left more than a million people homeless. UNICEF works with a variety of partners to increase access to nutrition programmes, particularly in camps for those who remain displaced. UNICEF educates parents about proper nutrition for their children and to distribute therapeutic foods to those in need like little Cherline.

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 two cards if I order two Inspired Gifts?

Yes, you’ll receive a card for each gift! You can also specify a unique email (or PDF) for each card. Just select your first Inspired Gift, personalise the message, choose your card design, and specify delivery details. Once complete, go back to the catalogue, select your second Inspired Gift, and repeat the process for the second 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.

Are Inspired Gifts from UNICEF Aotearoa considered charity gifts?

Inspired Gifts from UNICEF Aotearoa are indeed charity gifts. Each purchase supports vital programmes benefiting children globally, offering tangible items like vaccines or educational supplies. Choosing an Inspired Gift honours someone while making a significant charitable impact in their name.
