A Supporter of UNICEF
Hepburn was a huge supporter of UNICEF, mostly because of how much the organization helped her and her family after the war. She said, “I can testify to what UNICEF means to children because I was among those who received food and medical relief right after World War II. I have a long-lasting gratitude and trust for what UNICEF does.”

Hepburn then became an ambassador for the organization in 1988. With that status came other positive things, like how she chose to donate all her earnings from her last three projects to the organization. The names of those projects were Love Among Thieves, Always and Gardens of the World. Hepburn’s passion was truly to help others, which we could see from her early days.
