Why are monthly donors important

Monthly donors are the driving force behind UNICEF's life-saving work for children. You, along with our monthly donor community across Canada, play a crucial role in helping bring critical health, nutrition, water, education and protection services to children around the world – every single day. 

Your ongoing support allows us to provide urgent aid at a moment’s notice when hurricanes, earthquakes and other disasters strike. You ensure we’re on the frontlines providing care and supplies during global emergencies for as long as help is needed. You even make a difference for children in places facing long-term crises, such as Yemen, Syria, South Sudan, Ukraine and Gaza.

When you become a monthly donor with UNICEF Canada:

  • You’ll join an incredible community dedicated to building a better world for every child.
  • You’ll help the world’s children every day by investing in their health, safety and future all year long.
  • You’ll receive exclusive updates showing the real impact you’re making around the world with regular videos, emails and reports.

Be a part of a very special community that is changing children’s lives every day

Monthly giving makes your donation go further

With humanitarian crises escalating worldwide, children’s rights and survival are threatened like never before. UNICEF is committed to being there for children whatever the challenge may be. Your monthly donations ensure we can: 

Plan ahead 

Continuous funding means we can allocate resources more effectively, ensuring that children receive the help they need month after month. 

Provide stability 

Predictable support means we can maintain essential programs without fearing that funds will run out. 

Maximize impact 

Knowing that we will receive a certain amount each month allows us to set realistic goals and achieve them.

Students at a UNICEF-supported school in Afghanistan smile as they receive new backpacks and colored pencils . In 2023, UNICEF, with the help of our monthly donor community, distributed learning materials to 6.3 million students in Afghanistan.

Be part of our long-term work

Monthly donations are what allow UNICEF to continue improving and strengthening our long-term programs, including:

Health 

We reach nearly half the world’s children with life-saving vaccines every year and work to prevent child deaths and disease through quality healthcare services and health system strengthening.

Nutrition 

We help improve children’s access to nutritious, safe, affordable and sustainable diets so that they can grow up healthy and strong.

Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) 

We work to provide children with access to safe water and reliable sanitation and promote proper hygiene practices.

Education 

We help bring quality learning opportunities that prepare children and adolescents with the knowledge and skills they need for success.
