Why UNICEF?
Over eight decades, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has built an unprecedented global support system for the world’s children. UNICEF relentlessly works day in and day out to deliver the essentials that give every child an equitable chance in life: health care and immunizations, safe water and sanitation, nutrition, education, emergency relief and more. UNICEF USA advances the global mission of UNICEF by rallying the American public to support the world’s most vulnerable children. Together, we have meaningfully improved more children’s lives than any other humanitarian organization. For more information, visit unicefusa.org.
Consistent with our mission to ensure every child is educated, protected, and respected, UNICEF USA holds itself to high child safeguarding standards. You can read more about our Child Safeguarding Policy here.
