Help fight childhood malnutrition

One in three children around the world experience malnutrition. An estimated 12.2 million children suffer from severe acute malnutrition – the deadliest form of malnutrition. Rising poverty, climate change, and health epidemics are making it difficult for children to get the nutrition they need to survive. When children don’t have access to nutritious food, it can damage their growth and deprive them of the opportunity to reach their full potential.

EVERY DAY, YOU can help save children’s lives by becoming a monthly donor.

Your monthly donations allow UNICEF to always be ready to help prevent, diagnose and treat childhood malnutrition around the world. Thanks to reliable support, we can provide more children with life-saving therapeutic food so they can grow up healthy and strong. UNICEF provides up to 80% of the world's therapeutic food, which has helped treat millions of children at risk of severe acute malnutrition.

Why give monthly?

We rely on your monthly donation to maintain critical support and services for children around the world – not just during emergencies, but every single day. Thanks to our community of monthly donors across Canada, we can continue our life-saving work, including: 

• Vaccinating almost half of the world’s children every year; 
• Delivering emergency supplies within 72 hours to anywhere in the world; 
• Providing water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) programs in over 100 countries;    
• And so much more!

All donations are eligible for a tax credit as a charitable gift. If you prefer to give by phone, please call 1 800 567 4483. We are available to answer your call 24/7.
