Join the fight to save children's lives
UNICEF helped reduce the world’s child mortality rate by nearly two thirds since 1990 — one of the greatest global success stories of our time — by increasing access to lifesaving vaccines, quality nutrition and other cost-effective interventions. Unfortunately, the impact of COVID-19 threatens to undo some of that progress.
Even before COVID-19, millions of children under the age of 5 were still dying from preventable causes — nearly half of them as newborns. And hundreds of thousands of women die from preventable and treatable complications during pregnancy and childbirth.
You can play a vital role in this urgent fight to save children's lives.
Join UNICEF USA in its support for:
- coordinating and implementing U.S. government policies to end preventable child, newborn and maternal deaths as proposed by the Reach Every Mother and Child Act (S.1451)
- elevating early child development as an integral part of U.S. foreign assistance enacted with the recent passage of the Global Child Thrive Act
- leveraging holistic programs and digital learning solutions to improve access to quality education and keep adolescent girls in school
- accelerating global progress against maternal and child malnutrition
