Formula E shares Unicef's vision of enabling children and young people to have a better future on a clean and safe planet. As a global sport with a mission to combat climate change by switching to electric mobility, Formula E will use its platforms to raise awareness of Unicef's work in protecting children from the corona virus.
In cooperation with Unicef, Formula E will provide funds from fundraising initiatives and thus support the global fight against the corona virus. Building on a first donation of Formula E to Unicef, these funds will make a direct contribution to the work of the charity.
For Unicef, the health and well-being of children and adolescents around the world is a top priority in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. The focus is also on the secondary consequences, such as lost educational opportunities or discrimination and stigmatization, which are due to widespread misinformation.
The effects of the corona virus on children are enormous. Today, 1.5 billion children miss their classes due to school closings. Given the serious disruptions in the global economy, many families are also at risk of losing their livelihoods and falling into poverty. The coronavirus pandemic presents the world with challenges it has never seen before in this set up.
The support from Formula E, including donations and fundraising, is intended to raise awareness of the Unicef mission and aims to improve the lives of children around the world.
Jamie Reigle, Formula E Chief Govt Officer: “Formula E is committed to supporting Unicef in its efforts to protect the health and well-being of children and families. Formula E was founded with the aim of countering global climate change by switching to electric mobility; a mission that aims to enable future generations to live a safe and clean life. With today's label, we are taking immediate measures to protect future generations from a global health emergency. Our partnership with Unicef and our first donation marks the beginning of a long-term journey together to protect health, safety and the education of children around the world. It is our honor to support Unicef on behalf of Formula E, the teams, the manufacturers, the drivers, the Accomplice and all employees and to encourage everyone to stay safe at home. ”
Sarah Ward, Deputy Govt Director, Partnerships and Philanthropy at Unicef UK: “We are very pleased that Formula E supports Unicef's activities against the corona virus. Unicef is proud to continue its life-changing work around the world and we would like to thank our supporters such as Formula E for their generous donation. Thanks to the urgently needed donations, we are able to support children and families all over the world, for example by providing medical equipment and hygiene kits, developing educational offers, implementing preventive campaigns and combating misinformation. ”
