For every child.
UNICEF USA is the U.S. fundraising affiliate that supports the work of UNICEF (the United Nations Children's Fund), which delivers health care, nutrition, education, clean water, and emergency relief to children in more than 190 countries and territories.
UNICEF was founded in 1946 to help children in Europe after World War II, and its mission has since grown into one of the largest and most far-reaching child-focused humanitarian efforts in the world.
Around the holidays, UNICEF USA runs campaigns that turn everyday generosity into vaccines, therapeutic food, and emergency supplies for children caught in crisis — a fitting focus for a season built around giving.
Because UNICEF operates at such scale, even modest gifts are pooled into large, coordinated supply chains that get proven interventions like vaccines and clean water to children quickly and efficiently.
UNICEF maintains a presence in more countries than almost any other humanitarian organization, giving it the reach to respond to both slow-building crises — like malnutrition and lack of clean water — and sudden emergencies like conflict and natural disasters.
Its long-term presence in a country, established well before a crisis hits, is part of what allows UNICEF teams to move quickly once one does.
Your gift can help provide vaccines, nutrition, clean water, and emergency relief to children around the world — a fitting way to mark the season of giving.
