Donate a Backpack
Every UNICEF backpack is packed with potential and so much more than school supplies. It comes with everything children need to transform their lives.
Backpacks that Give Back: For a Child in Need, School Supplies Are the Gift that Keeps Giving
Did you know that 264 million kids around the globe don't get the chance to go to school? Over the past three years, UNICEF has given 59 million children living in poverty the supplies they need to head into the classroom prepared to learn.
- Children need the basics to learn, paper, pencils and a pack to keep it all organized. Our Basics Pack has those covered—plus vaccines to protect children from preventable diseases.
- School is a lifeline for children who’ve lost everything in an emergency. Your $200 donation funds a School in Box with all the essentials 40 students need to get back to learning.
- Connection to the wider world can lead to brighter futures. Just $498 will send a solar-powered radio, story books, math teaching kit—and hope to kids desperate to learn
Every child has a right to an education. For children living in some of the world’s toughest places it’s their only chance to break free. Donate school supplies to give children their fair shot at a more promising tomorrow.
