UNICEF Story

UNI577074

Children happily play with a Lean and Play kit in a UNICEF-provided child-friendly tent in the flood affected Rufiji district of Tanzania.

In April 2024, Tanzania experienced devastating flooding and landslides across 18 regions, leaving a trail destruction. UNICEF has been working alongside the government and other partners to respond to this crisis. We distributed prepositioned emergency non-food items (NFIs), including mattresses, blankets, sleeping bags, buckets, and soap. Essential supplies like 19 water tanks of 5,000 litres each, over 1.2 million water purification tablets, 5,000 pieces of laundry soap, 80 chlorine drums, and 5,000 copies of IEC materials for health promotion, have also been provided in Rufiji district alone.

UNICEF has provided education supplies and recreation kits for learning in temporary child-friendly spaces to offer a secure environment where children can learn, play, and simply be children.

UNICEF is 100% donor funded. Read more about where the money goes.

FAQ's about 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.

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.

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.
