Donate to UNICEF's Basket of Hope campaign as a gift for your loved ones this 2020
Beyond doubt, the pandemic has altered many lives. Our recent purchases have mostly been from groceries or other stores that would provide necessities for an utterly different set-up back home. We would buy enough food to refrain from leaving our houses and unintentionally spreading the virus.
However, some people still leave their homes daily to take a trip to the store. But it's not what you think.
Some leave their homes every so often not because they are dismissive of the safety protocols but because they do not earn enough to stock their fridges with resources that would last for a week. The state of these poor families worsen as the rate of unemployment increases and the risk of acquiring the virus heightens. Apart from this, children cannot participate in online classes due to lack of e-learning resources. They are, unfortunately, unprepared for the tribulation brought about by COVID-19.
“It is important now more than ever to help these disadvantaged Filipino children. Brighter days are possible when we all pitch in. By donating to the UNICEF Basket of Hope, you are contributing to a child’s right to survive and thrive, especially in the new normal,” Oyunsaikhan Dendevnorov, UNICEF Philippines' Representative stated.

At this time, generous donors and concerned citizens are seeking different ways to show their support but do not know where to start. Some are also deciding to donate to charities as a gift instead of sending their loved ones physical presents for special occasions. Certainly, donating to charities would be a great gift for your loved ones.
Fortunately, UNICEF has organised a new campaign that has made it easier for willing individuals to offer help to the Filipino community.
