As part of a donation appeal for Ukraine, former world number 1 Andy Murray has announced that he will donate his tournament winnings to Unicef.
“I will donate my prize money winnings for the rest of the year, tweeted the winner of three Grand Slam tournaments. But anyone in the UK can support UNICEF’s humanitarian response by responding to our appeal for donations. The High Commissioner for Refugees listed on Tuesday more than two million refugees who had fled Ukraine since the Russian invasion. Hundreds of thousands of them are children, according to Unicef.
“More than 7.5 million children are at risk due to the escalating conflict in Ukraine, which is why I am working with Unicef Britain to help provide emergency medical aid and early childhood development kits »added the 34-year-old, currently ranked 88th in the world.
« It is essential that education continues, so Unicef is working to enable displaced children to access education and to support the rehabilitation of damaged schools, as well as the replacement of their equipment and furniture”he concluded.
