UNICEF partnership

Since 2019, Pandora has partnered with UNICEF to support children and young people worldwide, with a special focus on girls, through educational programmes designed to champion their empowerment. Through this partnership, Pandora has helped nearly 2.4 million children and adolescents.

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, especially girls.

The Pandora for UNICEF partnership is built on dedicating half of the funds to educational programming, with a special focus on girls, while the other half is given unrestricted, enabling UNICEF to direct resources wherever and whenever the need is greatest.

Pandora has donated $14 million to UNICEF

To date, we have contributed USD 14 million (DKK 90 million) to UNICEF, helping nearly 2.4 million children globally. Our support focuses on educational programmes for children and young people, with a special emphasis on girls.

Pandora collaborates with UNICEF to equip young people, with a special focus on girls, with essential STEAM, digital, and life skills, empowering them to thrive in the workforce. Through targeted education initiatives in Thailand, Vietnam, and China, this partnership fosters inclusive learning opportunities that prepare adolescents for the future.

THAILAND

Over 1.4 million young people in Thailand are not in employment, education, or training, with the majority being female, many of whom dropped out due to pregnancy. The largest proportion of children not in school come from disadvantaged communities, migrants, or children living with a disability. The programme focuses on promoting gender-responsive STEAM education and equipping young girls with the skills they need for the workforce.

VIETNAM

Gender imbalance hinders education outcomes for girls, with many dropping out and limited access to quality preschool education for vulnerable groups, including 1.3 million children with disabilities. In remote areas, 67 per cent of children lack online education. Pandora supports UNICEF Vietnam’s programme to equip adolescent girls with workforce-ready skills, focusing on STEAM, digital literacy, and transferable skills in secondary and vocational education.

CHINA

Approximately 148 million adolescents in China, the world’s second-largest group, are preparing to enter a rapidly evolving workforce. Educational disparity between rural and urban areas persists, with rural children facing limited access to quality education. The programme supports UNICEF China in empowering adolescents, particularly girls, through STEAM education and life skills training, especially in rural areas.
