UNICEF Australia and Cosmos
Cosmos proudly supports UNICEF Australia via the Globus family of brands Lighthouse Project, making a donation for every booking and helping to deliver support for children around the world. Thanks to your bookings, we have contributed over $140,000 since our partnership formed in 2022!
This crucial funding helps deliver support to little ones when and where the need is greatest, such as providing support to families after the devastating earthquakes in Syria.
On 6 February 2023, more than 59,000 people were killed and millions were impacted when two severe earthquakes hit south-east Türkiye and north-west Syria. The humanitarian situation in Syria was already at breaking point after more than ten years of civil war, and the earthquakes left many children and their families homeless and without access to essentials like food, clean water, education, and medical care. Food insecurity in Syria has soared to its highest level in 12 years.
Almost one year after the earthquakes, UNICEF continues to work tirelessly to provide lifesaving assistance to affected children and communities in Syria, as well as support the rehabilitation of damaged infrastructure and restoration of basic services.
Thanks to the support of partners like Globus family of brands, In 2023, UNICEF reached:
- 1.5 million children and nearly 167,000 women across Syria with primary healthcare services
- over 1 million children and more than 970,000 women with nutrition services.
"When I go to sleep, I feel that I’m never sure what tomorrow will bring. Uncertainty is everywhere, but we keep going to support the people who need us."
