  1. UNICEF South Africa - a credible voice amid COVID-19

  2. A Fact-Finding Mission Misinformation is spreading as fast as the virus, fuelling discrimination, social stigma and a sense of fear and helplessness. It is vital for any humanitarian or charity organization to do their fact-checking to ensure that any information shared, relating to campaign initiatives and programmes, is credible, consistent and legitimate. Partnering with frontline responders as a voice for children in vulnerable and under- resourced communities is UNICEF South Africa’s #1 priority. Our COVID-19 online platform serves as a credible source for the protection of children and families, while our global COVID-19 platform also provides reliable media resources, helpful tips and guidance, and the latest updates.The National Health Department and WHO are further trustworthy sources of breaking news, data and statistics when it comes to the spread of the virus.

  3. A Timely Opportunity As the coronavirus takes the spotlight, UNICEF South Africa is uniquely positioned to step in the gap and help children in informal settlements across our country. UNICEF South Africa’s #LittleHandsMatter Campaign has set a goal to urgently raise R200 000 to build 10 handwashing stations in under-resourced communities in various parts of South Africa to stop the spread of disease, promoting healthy hygiene in a sustainable way and making a long-term impact in these communities. As a humanitarian organisation, UNICEF South Africa aims to have a significant impact on the lives of children in high-density areas where there is a high risk of the spread of the virus.

  4. UNICEF South Africa is focused on every child. But we cannot do it alone: we need you to partner with us. It is often said that it takes a village to raise a child and it takes that same village to open their hands and hearts. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world as we know it. The statistics are alarming and the risk to children in under-resourced communities across South Africa, in particular, is a reality. Help us help them. Our goal and solution are simple, but we need you to partner with us to make it a reality. As you scroll through the many COVID-19 news updates, pause a minute and visit our campaign page to read more about how you can become part of stopping the spread of COVID-19.
