UNICEF partnership

Pandora has partnered with UNICEF since 2019 to help reach more than 10 million children and young people and provide them with opportunities to learn, express themselves and find work in the future.

Young people have the potential to change the world for the better. However, without the right resources and opportunities, such achievements will remain a distant dream for the vast majority of young people, especially girls.

Pandora for Unicef

Pandora has donated $10 million to UNICEF

To date, Pandora has donated a total of USD 10 million, helping more than 1.2 million children through the partnership. Pandora is a flexible funding champion, allowing UNICEF to allocate resources where they are needed the most to help children around the world to survive and thrive.

By combining strengths, Pandora and UNICEF work to improve access to quality learning opportunities for young people through programmes that support skills development, social innovation and entrepreneurship, like UNICEF’s UPSHIFT approach. These programmes are designed to support the development of skills for life and livelihood, and support young people to positively engage with their local communities as change-makers. As part of a long-term partnership, Pandora will help raise funds for UNICEF programmes in Burundi, China, Guatemala, Nepal and Serbia.
