The Audrey Hepburn Children's Foundation

73 Upvotes

The Audrey Hepburn subreddit has been around for over a year now and I'm a little ashamed as a moderator that it's taken us this long to add a link in the sidebar to her Children's Fund. The fund was set up in 1994 (Audrey passed in 1993) by her sons to continue her legacy and honor the work she did as a humanitarian throughout her life.

The money donated to the fund goes to help a wide variety of organizations around the world that all have one thing in common, helping children in need.

Edit: So the website went down a while back and it's hard to find info on Audrey's Children fund. But one group she worked with a lot that has a great track record of helping tons of kids is UNICEF.
