Times of India · good-news

Swedish pop group ABBA's 1979 hit song 'Chiquitita' has generated over $5 million for UNICEF by April 2024, supporting vital child protection programs. The royalties, pledged 45 years ago, continue to fund initiatives against violence, abuse, and exploitation worldwide. This enduring contribution stems from ongoing revenue generated through song purchases and streams. The funds have specifically aided child psychology and protection services, including efforts in Guatemala to reach children in remote communities. The song's legacy highlights the long-term impact of music-based charitable giving.
