UNICEF is currently launching their inaugural Student Challenge campaign, helping to ensure children around the world have access to clean drinking water, while providing Canadian post-secondary students with a distinctive professional development opportunity.

Participating students will even have a chance to win an all expenses paid trip to New York for a behind-the-scenes look at UNICEF Headquarters. This prize provides an exclusive professional development opportunity that otherwise is not open to Canadian students.

How do you participate? Working in teams of two, you raise funds to purchase water pumps ($500 each). One pump provides safe water for an entire community. Every time your team raises enough money to fund one water pump, you will receive one ballot to win the trip to New York City. If your team raises enough money to fund another water pump, you will receive another ballot for the draw; the more water pumps your team funds, the better chances you have at winning the grand prize.

Who is eligible? The Student Challenge is open to university and college students in Canada between the ages of 18 and 25 years old.
UNICEF is the world’s leading child-focused humanitarian and development agency. Through innovative programs and advocacy work, they secure children’s rights in over 150 countries around the world.
