NEWS UNICEF SUPPORTS REFUGEES WITH EMOJIS VIA TEXT MESSAGE UNICEF supports refugees with emojis via text message UNICEF is introducing a campaign that allows people who want to support refugees to donate via SMS emojis. More than 7.5 million people are displaced in Syria. More than 4 million Syrians live in Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Turkey and Egypt. More than half of the refugees are children. They are entitled to a real bed in a real house, but in reality they sleep on a few blankets in a tent or - even worse - on the street. Emojis UNICEF now uses multiple emojis in the campaign . Each of the 13 emojis represents things that the refugees need such as shelter, water, education, medicines, food and clothing. By sending an emoji, such as a drop of water, a sleeping smiley or an image of books, the donation of three euros becomes more meaningful. Broader target audience "With the addition of emojis to the well-known SMS mechanism, we add a new, emotional layer to donating, which we expect will appeal to a broad target group," said Johanna Jansma, Acquisition team manager at Unicef Netherlands. Wendy Schilder, Market Manager Fundraising at CM: "The UNICEF campaign is a good example of an efficient way of fundraising 'new style'. Donations can now - in addition to the familiar SMS text message - also be made via emojis. A link in the outgoing text message to the donor also contains a link that directs the donor to a UNICEF webpage. It also shows how often which emojis have been used for donations. " The emoji donation campaign started on October 19 and will run through mid-November. About Mobile Donating Email updates CM's latest news in your inbox? Leave your email address here Interesting?
