The Fund helps to pioneer new ideas to address challenges faced by children worldwide, while enabling UNICEF to rapidly support those in need during humanitarian emergencies.
The first video game bundle will be available from April 21 to May 12 and will cost $24.89.
Outright Games creates family-friendly video games that are safe and appropriate for all ages and feature the biggest kids entertainment franchises. UNICEF supports education, health and nutrition, and responds to the needs of children impacted by conflict and natural disasters.
Beth Goss, CEO of Outright Games, said in a statement, “We are incredibly proud to support UNICEF UK as their first official partner from the video games industry. Our aim is to take our best-in-class stable of licensed IP’s and the passion of our global team to help improve the lives of all children across the world.
