4 ways the IKEA foundation helps children
Improving opportunities for children
Every child deserves a place to call home, a healthy start in life, a quality education and a sustainable family income. For a long time, the IKEA Foundation supports programs run by UNICEF and the Clinton Health Access Initiative to help children create a better future for themselves and their families.

Empowering women and girls
By funding women empowering programs – through education, skills training, improved healthcare, or providing a loan to set up a small business, the IKEA Foundation gives them a better chance to provide for their families.
Emergency response
All children should have the right to learn and play. But when natural disasters and conflicts turn their lives upside down, they lose the chance to simply be a child. That’s why the IKEA Foundation provides financial support and donates IKEA products for emergency relief efforts to humanitarian partners like Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), UNICEF, Save the Children and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR).
Preventing child labor
For over a decade, we work together with UNICEF and Save the Children. We have donated over 60 million EUR to fight the root causes of child labor in India and Pakistan. Together, we can lead 16 million children to a better life.
A better life for refugee children
Every year millions of children are forced to flee their homes because of natural disasters and conflicts. The IKEA Foundation is supporting the UN’s Refugee Agency with €73 million to provide shelter, care and education to refugee families in Ethiopia, Sudan and Bangladesh.
