UNICEF partners offer unique easy ways to help save children's lives
Several corporate partners of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF have created special product offerings or other creative options to help UNICEF in its mission to reduce the number of preventable childhood deaths from 24,000 per day to zero. For each purchase of these items—which range from bracelets to solar lamps to luxury gifts and accessories—these partners will make a donation to support UNICEF's lifesaving programs.

FEED Guatemala bags celebrate traditional crafts and help children in Guatemala
For every FEED 1 Guatemala pouch and FEED 3 Guatemala bag sold at Lord & Taylor stores in the U.S. and online, FEED will donate $3.50 or $10.50 respectively to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF to help support UNICEF's nutrition programs in Guatemala. (No part of the purchase price is tax-deductible).
FEED Guatemala project donations will support UNICEF nutrition programs that help children under the age of five in Guatemala, which has one of the worst nutritional conditions in the region. Donations from sales of the FEED 1 and 3 Guatemala bags will help UNICEF provide daily nutrient powder for one child or three children (respectively) in Guatemala for one year.
The FEED Guatemala bags are handmade in Guatemala with traditional Ikat fabrics. The variety of colors and woven patterns reflects the vibrant Guatemalan culture and gives each customer an array of colors and patterns to choose from. Thus the purchase of the bags celebrates the traditional crafts of Guatemala and supports women artisans, while also generating funding to help UNICEF provide micronutrient supplements to children so they grow up stronger, healthier, and better equipped to move beyond extreme poverty.
The FEED 1 Guatemala pouch is $19 and the FEED 3 Guatemala tote is $39 and can be purchased at Lord & Taylor stores in the U.S. and online. Learn more about FEED Guatemala bags.
IKEA Soft Toy and Sunnan Lamp initiatives brighten children's futures
For every SUNNAN solar powered lamp sold in IKEA stores worldwide, one lamp will be given to UNICEF to light up the life of a child. The first shipments were directed to Pakistan, helping children in camps for people who had to flee their homes, and in remote villages.
IKEA has made an especially sturdy SUNNAN for the developing world, designed to resist the wear and tear of difficult living situations, including a battery capable of withstanding high temperatures. This unit will enable children to play, read, write and study at night, even if their homes have no electricity. SUNNAN comes in five bright colors and is available in an IKEA store near you at a cost of $19.99.

"Gucci for UNICEF" Special Edition Sukey Bag Supports UNICEF's "Schools for Africa" Program
To celebrate the 6th year of its partnership with UNICEF, Gucci has launched the third "Gucci for UNICEF" campaign—a year long initiative to extend Gucci's commitment to supporting UNICEF programs in sub-Saharan Africa. The special edition "Gucci for UNICEF" Sukey bag, designed by Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini in grey "La Pelle Guccissima" leather, will be sold in Gucci stores in over 20 countries worldwide and at gucci.com from April 15, 2010 until February 28, 2011.
Gucci will donate 25 percent of the retail price from all sales of the "Gucci for UNICEF" bag to support UNICEF's "Schools for Africa" programs in Malawi and Mozambique, where nearly one million children have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS.
"Schools for Africa" is a joint initiative established in 2004 by UNICEF, the Nelson Mandela Foundation and the Hamburg Society to promote education for all children in Africa. The campaign aims to increase access to quality basic schooling for all, with a special emphasis on helping the most disadvantaged—including girls, children orphaned by HIV/AIDS, and children living in extreme poverty.
