Featuring a water testing station, a water-focused trivia game and a bracelet making station, with each donation or correct answer, you’ll be entered into a raffle for a chance to win SFU bookstore gift cards! ​
2ND ANNUAL UNICEF SFU: WORLD WATER GALA

Following last year’s SOLD OUT Zero Hunger Gala (with 200 guests in attendance), UNICEF SFU held another community-oriented gala that continued to educate, advocate and fundraise on behalf of UNICEF Canada. 
​
This year, our theme is based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal: “Clean Water and Sanitation”. On both a local and global scale, water accessibility continues to be a pressing issue that affects children and their families. Especially in remote communities, the lack of clean water is a major barrier to the physical and intellectual development of young children. We will be using 100% of the proceeds from this gala to support water initiatives around the world ​

If you'd like to get more DIY with your mason jar, you can also customize it as well! All proceeds from this event went towards towards buying nutritional related survival gifts for those in need. 
FORGOTTEN CHILDREN​

UNICEF SFU helped advocate for child soldiers around the world and educate about after-effects of war. Through this advocacy and education workshop, students learned about the conditions and psychological effects women and children face during and after war. 

Students then tried their luck at our Forgotten Child jeopardy to win prizes and help advocate for the cause.
