The COVID-19 pandemic has upended the lives of children, families and communities around the world. The pandemic has caused businesses to close, schools to shut down, critical immunization campaigns to be halted, family gatherings to be put on pause and much more.
As the world has been put on pause, so has the 2020 Light the World campaign and its in-person Giving Machines, presented by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Even though communities may not be able to gather in person this year and choose critical items from the Giving Machines, you can still give virtually to UNICEF’s lifesaving work!
This year, we are bringing the #LightTheWorld campaign straight to your computers, where you are able to give directly to UNICEF.

UNICEF USA is grateful to participate in the #LightTheWorld campaign for the third year in a row. Over the past two years, the Giving Machines have allowed individuals to make an impact on children and communities through purchasing UNICEF Inspired Gifts, from polio vaccines to jump ropes to School-in-a-Box kits – raising over $1 million.
By making a gift today, you will be able to support UNICEF’s critical lifesaving work. A few examples of how your donation could make an impact for children:
With all the hardships children and communities have faced in 2020, it hasn’t stopped UNICEF from doing its job – working in over 190 countries and territories to save children’s lives, to defend their rights and to help them fulfil their potential.
UNICEF won’t stop protecting children and continues to ensure that communities receive the supplies they need, such as soap and safe water, school supplies and access to distance/home-based learning, vaccines to fight deadly diseases and much more!
Give the gift of hope this year and make an impact on the world’s most vulnerable children.
