UNICEF Next Generation

UNICEF Next Generation We are a group of young leaders who are passionate about helping children around the world and who have joined together to support UNICEF’s work.

UNICEF Next Generation is a group of young professionals ages 21 through 40 who are committed to doing whatever it takes to save children's lives. When we were born, 36,000 children died every day from preventable causes; now 18,000 do. NextGen is taking action to reduce that number to zero. Our members study issues that affect children around the world and choose UNICEF projects to support through education, advocacy and fundraising. By supporting UNICEF’s work, we are creating a world that is healthier and safer than the one we were born into. NextGen was an initiative started by the U.S. Fund for UNICEF with Jenna Bush Hager, a UNICEF Young Leadership Ambassador. Now in its fourth year, Next Gen has already raised over $4 million for UNICEF programs worldwide. UNICEF believes in a world where there are ZERO starving children, ZERO children are denied an education and ZERO children are without clean water. This relentless conviction has propelled UNICEF to help save more children’s lives than any humanitarian organization in the world. If you believe in ZERO, we need you to join us. There are solutions that will save and protect children, and we need your help to make them a reality.

As we head into the weekend we wanted to remind you to get out there and play! Play is essential, at every age!

It's not a reward or a break from the hard stuff. For kids growing up in crisis, it's how they process what they've been through. How they make friends. How they find joy when joy feels impossible.

UNICEF gets that — and they make sure play reaches children everywhere, alongside food, medicine, shelter and other essential supplies.

For International Day of Play, I hope you’ll join us and to help deliver play . 💙

"The water was not good to drink, even for animals, but this is all we had," says 11 year old Asiya in Afghanistan about the river 2.5 miles away that her family used as a water source.

Clean water is particularly important for children, but it can be challenging to find in such dry environments with little rain.

So UNICEF found a solution. In August 2024, a solar-powered water system was completed in Kamana village, bringing safe drinking water straight to the community from its source more than 16 miles away. Now Asiya - and her community of 7,000 people - have drinking water right at their doorsteps. These forms of clean energy are life changing!

In 2021, conflict erupted in Tigray, Ethiopia forcing many families, like 9 year-old Adiam’s, to flee in search of safety.

The family lived off of farming that provided a comfortable living and enabled them to send their children to school but then the conflict changed everything.

The children missed school for a year and the family survived off of begging. Adiam and her siblings have since been able to return to school thanks to UNICEF’s accelerated learning program. With this opportunity, Adiam has grown, made friends and dreams of becoming a doctor so she can help her friends.

12-year old Judy is able to continue her education in a temporary learning space in Khan Younis. This space allows her to regain a sense of routine and stability.

UNICEF and partners are working under extraordinary conditions to reach 650,000 school-aged children in the Gaza strip to ensure they receive the support they need to survive, learn and heal.

Your support is needed more than ever.
