The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) works in 190 countries and territories to save and improve children's lives by providing health care and immunizations, clean water and sanitation, nutrition, education, emergency relief and more. The U.S. Fund for UNICEF supports UNICEF’s work through fundraising, advocacy, and education in the United States. Together, they are working toward the day when ZERO children die from preventable causes and every child has a safe and healthy childhood.
The U.S. Fund for UNICEF fights for the survival and development of the world’s most vulnerable children and protects their basic human rights. UNICEF has saved more children’s lives than any other humanitarian organization in the world. They have global reach, expertise, and the access and influence it takes to get things done in difficult places and emergency situations.
The U.S. Fund for UNICEF spends 90.4 cents of every dollar they receive on programs that help children. Only 6.7 cents goes to fundraising, and 2.9 cents to administration.
UNICEF will do whatever it takes to save a child. Stopping wars so children can be vaccinated. Bringing lifesaving food and water to places no one else can reach. They work with government leaders, civic figures, celebrities, corporations, campus groups, churches, teachers and people just like you—anyone willing to help us advocate for the survival and wellbeing of every child.
