Swedish teen climate activist
Greta Thunberg is donating $100,000 to UNICEF toward efforts to protect children from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, the agency announced on Thursday.
Thunberg is donating the $100,000 prize she was awarded for her global activism by Human Act, and the organization is donating a similar amount to UNICEF.
"Like the climate crisis,
the coronavirus pandemic is a child-rights crisis," Thunberg
said in the announcement. "It will affect all children, now and in the long-term, but vulnerable groups will be impacted the most.
I'm asking everyone to step up and join me in support of UNICEF's vital work to save children's lives, to protect health and continue education."
