LEGACY OF LOVE - LEGACY GIVING PROGRAMME

Children are among the happiest and whom we cherish on earth. They are also our future pillars and hope. As someone who cares about our society, your generous support helps the continuity of commitment to saving and changing children’s lives around the world.


Legacy donation is to leave a gift in Wills or Insurance Policies through the “Hong Kong Committee for UNICEF” (UNICEF HK). Every cent donated to UNICEF HK would help us to reach the most vulnerable children and create a safer world for them. More importantly, your will continues to share your love and care for children and safeguard our next generations even upon passing.

WHY UNICEF?

UNICEF works in the world’s toughest places to reach the most disadvantaged children and adolescents – and to protect the rights of every child, everywhere. Across more than 190 countries and territories, including here in Hong Kong, we do whatever it takes to help children survive, thrive and fulfill their potential, from early childhood through adolescence. Legacy gifts are vital for our work to keep children safe around the world; whether they are in danger from malnutrition, or in need of essential vaccines to protect them from disease. They allow us to respond rapidly when emergencies strike, and send out life-saving supplies like water containers, nutrition supplements and mosquito-nets.

Be a legacy donor and empower us to cater the needs of our vulnerable children in the world anytime, anywhere.

Together, we build a better future for children.

WHAT DO OUR LEGACY DONORS SAY?

“It is important for me to give back to the community as a global citizen and I managed to find the right balance by naming UNICEF HK as the beneficiary for 3 of my insurance policies. I know I will make a lasting difference for children in need and it makes me feel so special that I am able to leave a legacy that is woven into the lives of children, part of me shall live on even upon passing.”

 

Miss Ko, a long-term supporter of UNICEF  ‘Run for Every Child’

“UNICEF HK is my go-to charity that I, as well as my little niece, support. I named UNICEF HK as the beneficiary in my Will because I want to reach out to children across the world who are less fortunate. UNICEF’s values and beliefs fit well with my own.”
