Many children can’t go to school or get routine vaccines and other health care services because they never received a birth certificate. Fundraising for UNICEF USA helps support UNICEF-supported catch-up birth registration initiatives and other important programs to protect children and their right to live up to their full potential. © UNICEF/UN0729618/Mulala
