Saving Children with UNICEF

Help Raise $2 Million by December 31^st

On January 12^th, the worst earthquake in 200 years struck Haiti, which changed the lives of hundreds of children forever. The United Fund for UNICEF continues to save kids with numerous acts of donations.

“She never did tell me her name or her age. She just told me that when the earthquake struck her home in Haiti, she thought it was God teaching her to fly. In fact, her world had been shattered, and her family was gone.”- UNICEF

The facts:

• 22,000 kids who died every day from a preventable cause
• Every 6 seconds, a child died from malnutrition
• Every day, 400 children died from measles
• 
  

UNICEF is dedicated to changing these statistics because this largest humanitarian organization believes the number of children who died every day from a preventable cause should be ZERO. How is this accomplished?

Education – In the aftermath of war or natural disaster, children often feel safest in a classroom. UNICEF developed the School-in-a-Box kit so that a classroom could be set up anywhere to restore a sense of normalcy and help break the cycle of poverty.

Emergency relief – Children are often separated from their families in the chaos after a disaster. UNICEF sets up child protection centers to provide these kids with a safe environment, clean water, shelter and help in finding their lost loved ones.

Safe drinking water – When children are thirsty, it doesn't matter if a river is clouded and polluted, they'll drink from it. UNICEF's simple solutions like clean water tablets make it safe for children to drink when they are thirsty – anywhere, anytime.

Every day of every year, UNICEF uses these proven, low-cost methods to save kids in need. Due to UNICEF’s efforts, the annual number of under-five deaths dropped from 13 million in 1990 to 8 million in 2010.

There is no reason why a child should die from a cause that has long been solved in the developed world.

No other organization has saved more children's lives than UNICEF.
