About UNICEF
UNICEF
has saved more children's lives than any other humanitarian
organization in the world. Working in more than 150 countries, UNICEF
provides children with health care, clean water, nutrition, education,
emergency relief, and more. The U.S. Fund for UNICEF supports UNICEF's
work through fundraising, advocacy, and education in the United States.
UNICEF
is at the forefront of efforts to reduce child mortality worldwide.
There has been substantial progress: the annual number of under-five
deaths dropped from nearly 13 million in 1990 to 7.6 million in 2010.
But still, 21,000 children die each day from preventable causes. Our
mission is to do whatever it takes to make that number zero by giving
children the essentials for a safe and healthy childhood. For more
