In San Juan Chamelco, Guatemala, a group of girls giggle as they chase the football around the dirt field.

In Guatemala, there is only 24% current coverage of special protection and only 4% of children under 4 years of age have access to early education.

UNICEF has opened more than 305 Community Centres for the Integral Development of Children in the country to support early childhood. We want to make sure they receive adequate nutrition, loving care, early stimulation and protection from all types of violence - so that they can develop properly and reach their full potential – and give these kids a real chance for a promising future.

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.
