The United Nations Children's Fund is a United Nations Program headquartered in New York City that provides long-term humanitarian and developmental assistance to children and mothers in developing countries
UNICEF has helped save more children's lives than any other humanitarian organization.
"Thousands of children under the age of five die every day because they lack proper nutrition, safe drinking water, affordable vaccines and other basic necessities that most people in the U.S. take for granted. UNICEF's lifesaving interventions and programs around the world have helped reduce the number of child deaths by more than 50% since 1990, and yet 16,000 children still die every day from preventable causes."

It was great to hear from this organization. Once I subscribed to it, she informed me I will be receiving on updates of the help for the children in different countries who need the assistance, like nutrition, clean water, emergency relief, immunizations, and more. They figure out low cost interventions like washing hands, breastfeeding, and getting shots to save millions of children from dying from a disease. Food for thought to help children to feel wanted and the attention they deserve, there is a tax deductible donation or monthly gift every month. I received emails from the other organizations, but UNICEF gave me more information about the children in the different countries they have helped.
Hi Maria,
ReplyDeleteI also subscribed to UNICEF. This organization outreach programs to countries around the world is amazing. All children deserve the right to reach their fullest potential. UNICEF is able to provide tools necessary to achieve that goal. It is important to know how to get involved, what can I do to make a difference. Thank you for sharing.
Kris,
DeleteI think it is amazing what this organization can do for children who is in need. I have received two emails from the company in regards to their contribution with the children throughout different countries.
Hi Maria - thanks for sharing about UNICEF. I am glad to hear they are still "alive and well", and boy are they ever! What awesome things they are doing. What I remember about UNICEF was when I was a kid, putting change into these boxes that said "UNICEF" and thinking - well, I guess that's helping somebody somewhere! It seemed so far away... Thanks for reminding me of the wonderful "real work" they do! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great cause! thanks for sharing your journey!! It was amazing reading your post!
