One love, One heart, Reimagined
“Over 40 years ago, my father wrote One Love about unity, peace and universal love during a time when there was much trouble in the world.
Even in a time when we aren’t able to get together, his message remains true today, we can get through this global crisis if we come together through one love and one heart,” Cedella Marley.
Help us prevent the COVID-19 pandemic from becoming a lasting crisis for children. There is no time to lose. Without immediate funding and lifesaving interventions, an additional 6,000 children could die every day over the next six months as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to weaken health systems and disrupt routine services.
Already on the ground in more than 190 countries, UNICEF is responding. But we urgently need support to scale-up our efforts to deliver life-saving supplies. “This is a race against time,” Henrietta Fore, UNICEF executive director.
