easyJet launches its 50th onboard collection to raise funds for UNICEF’s education initiatives
easyJet and UNICEF have launched their winter onboard collection as part of the ‘Every Child Can Fly’ campaign, offering easyJet customers the opportunity to support UNICEF’s mission of achieving every child’s universal right to learn by 2030. This initiative, now in its 50th onboard collection, aims to raise vital funds for global education programmes.
This news is particularly relevant to UK-based business travellers who frequently fly with easyJet, as it provides them with an easy way to contribute to a meaningful cause while travelling. Through these donations, travellers can help address the global learning crisis, a pressing issue that impacts millions of children worldwide.
Starting 7 December, passengers on over 72,000 flights spanning 32 countries are encouraged to donate during the six-week campaign.
Since 2012, the easyJet-UNICEF partnership has raised over £17 million, which has been used to support children by providing access to education, protecting them from diseases, and ensuring safety during emergencies. The funds raised during this campaign will contribute to UNICEF’s goal of providing quality education to 114 million children and digital learning resources to nearly 150 million children by 2025.
easyJet’s Director of Cabin Services, Michael Brown, highlighted the campaign’s impact, saying:
It is a privilege to be launching our 50th onboard collection for UNICEF this winter as part of our ‘Every Child Can Fly’ campaign, to support UNICEF’s aspiration to achieve every child’s universal right to learn by 2030. Since our partnership launched over a decade ago, we are incredibly grateful to our customers for their kindness and generosity in helping to raise over £17 million to support UNICEF’s work – and of course our fantastic crew who make these collections possible. We cannot thank them enough for all that they do to help change the lives of countless children across the world.
Paul Baker, Sales Director of Global Travel Management, added:
UK-based business travellers often look for ways to make a positive impact while navigating their busy schedules. This partnership between easyJet and UNICEF provides a seamless opportunity to contribute to a significant cause while travelling, reinforcing the importance of corporate social responsibility within the business travel community.
Donations collected onboard will help UNICEF provide educational materials like textbooks and classroom kits, ensuring that children can continue learning, even in emergencies. Mohini Raichura-Brown, UNICEF’s Chief Partnerships Officer, noted, “This collection builds on more than £3 million easyJet contributed over the years towards UNICEF’s education programmes, helping to provide every child with an opportunity to access quality and inclusive learning.”
