UNICEF’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic is focused on providing critical supplies to health facilities, preventing the spread of new infection, ensuring the continuity of education and analyzing data to inform where and how to best deploy resources. To ensure that all four areas of focus are being prioritized, UNICEF has released an appeal for $651.6 million. 
Proceeds from the song "Chiquitita" have benefited UNICEF's work since the 1979 Music for UNICEF Concert. “I am so proud to premiere this new version during the broadcast of UNICEF Won’t Stop,” said Cher. “I’ve long admired UNICEF, especially for their work with young women since I was a little girl. Now, more than ever, it’s critical that we prioritize every child around the world as if they were our own.”
