2019 Donor Impact Report – UNICEF Canada 1 Message from UNICEF Canada President and CEO David Morley and Board Chair Chris Simard

As we look back at some of UNICEF Canada’s key accomplishments in 2019, this is our chance to thank you, our donors. Your generous support makes possible our work of improving the future of children around the world. UNICEF has always defended the rights of children to be heard and to take part in decisions that affect their lives. We cannot hope to fully understand the challenges they face nor design solutions without their input. Perspective matters. Elevating children’s voices has driven much of UNICEF Canada’s accomplishments in 2019, from sharing joyful stories of young Ebola survivors in the Democratic Republic of Congo returning to school to a couple of UNICEF youth volunteers writing a guest column in the Toronto Star about lowering the voting age in Canada to 16. We asked children to narrate one of our most watched videos of the year, inviting us to see the world through their eyes. They introduced UNICEF Canada’s new Right to a Childhood campaign by explaining that they, like every child, have the right to be healthy and safe and go to school. But that they also have the right to have fun be and be a kid for as long as possible. Since UNICEF is the only organization named in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, we celebrated its 30th anniversary by bringing together some of Canada’s leading youth voices at our Youth Activism Summit, in Toronto. This event came on the heels of five Youth Summits across Canada where our One Youth team invited young people to talk about their rights and develop skills to defend them. The One Youth team also broke new ground with its inaugural Index of Child and Youth Well-being, a report that tracks 125 key indicators to help define discussions and public policy decisions affecting children. And like the definitive reports compiled by UNICEF about the state of children around the globe, much of the data is based on surveys of young people describing their lives, hopes and challenges. Our UNICEF colleagues across more than 190 countries work endless hours, and often in very difficult situations, to support children both in emergencies and long-term development work. We could not do any of this without the generous support from donors. And we are happy to report that those donors again include trick-or-treaters! After a 13-year absence, UNICEF Canada reclaimed Halloween by launching the Halloween Heroes fundraising program, which takes the beloved orange coin box into the digital age. Kids in Canada are helping kids all over the world have a better future. It’s been an exciting year. We extend our deepest appreciation to all our donors, volunteers and supporters. Your shared commitment to children fuels everything we do.

DAVID MORLEY, C.M. CHRIS SIMARD PRESIDENT & CEO BOARD CHAIR
