Show your child the world with Paddington™

Sign up for a monthly donation and as a bear-sized thank you, Paddington will send a child in your life a mail package that contains postcards from around the world (and so much more!) every month for 12 months. With each package, they’ll explore a different country with Paddington and learn more about the life of a child who lives there.   

Perfect for children aged 4-10, Paddington’s Postcards is a wonderful way to teach your little adventurer about other children, families and communities around the world. And your monthly donation helps UNICEF support children every single day by investing in their health, safety and future all year long.

In order to sign up multiple children who live at different households, you will need to set up separate monthly gifts for each child.  If you would like multiple children at the same address to receive a package, please include all children’s names in the first name field.

There could be a couple of reasons for this. Your account may have gone into non-payment, causing the packs to stop, or your subscription cycle might have finished, and you may have transitioned to a monthly donor. If you have stopped receiving your packs for any reason, please reach out to us at info@unicef.ca, and we will assist you.

Yes, you can certainly renew your subscription. However, please note that you will receive the same 12 mail packs. We appreciate your continued support.
