Ha Ji-won donates her talent to UNICEF TV campaign to help children affected by conflict and malnutrition

[Financial News] Actor Ha Ji-won donated her talent to the Korean Committee for UNICEF's TV campaign to help children around the world whose lives are at risk due to conflict and malnutrition.
According to the committee on the 11th, the campaign 'Support That Saves Lives' will begin airing on major TV channels from that day, with broadcasts rolling out in sequence. The committee is encouraging people to donate to help children in need of relief supplies and medical services.
The video shows the reality facing children who, because of conflict, struggle to obtain clean water and food and have difficulty accessing even basic medical care. It also highlights that malnutrition can hinder children's brain development and physical growth.
According to joint estimates by UNICEF, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Bank, in 2024 approximately 12.2 million children under the age of five worldwide (1.9%) suffered from severe wasting, a condition in which weight is markedly low for a child's height. UNICEF provides ready-to-use therapeutic food so that children with severe wasting and no complications can be treated at home.
Ha Ji-won said, “I believe it is important to provide the help children need now so that every child can grow up healthy and dream freely,” and, “I hope you will join us so that children in difficult circumstances do not lose hope and can dream of tomorrow.”
People can donate by phone or through the committee's website. Heo Geum-ju, secretary general of the Korean Committee for UNICEF, expressed gratitude for Ha Ji-won's contribution of her talent and said, “I hope this campaign will widely raise awareness of the reality facing children in crisis and serve as an opportunity for needed support to reach more children.”
