Children proudly hold their new school bags. After a disturbing event like Cyclone Pam it's important to get children back to learning and playing as soon as possible.

Global Guardians transform lives

A Global Guardian is a philanthropist who commits to make a significant donation of at least £5,000 annually for three years. These donations are directed to wherever the need is greatest for children.

Support from our Global Guardians enables UNICEF to improve health, nutrition, water, sanitation and education for children in many of the world’s poorest countries.

Whether you’re new to UNICEF or have been a supporter for many years, we’re delighted to invite you to join a growing group of individuals dedicated to supporting our work for children.

As a Global Guardian you’ll be in the company of like-minded people and together your support will transform the lives of children in the poorest and hardest-to-reach circumstances.

Being a Global Guardian makes me feel that I am playing a real part in UNICEF's work.
Janet Garton, Global Guardian
