Congress Increases Voluntary Contribution To UNICEF's Core Resources In 2023


Congress has announced $137 million in core funding for UNICEF’s work in 2023. These aren’t just dollars; these are lifesaving vaccines to protect children and communities, packets of Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Foods to nurse malnourished kids back to health, medical and emergency supplies for when disasters strike… and so much more. This support will save and meaningfully change millions of children’s lives.

We at UNICEF USA are grateful for this support. But there is more to be done, especially for immigrant children and youth. In the new year, Congress must pass legislation to provide young undocumented people and their families with a pathway to citizenship.

The council is asking people to volunteer to sponsor and house Ukrainian refugees under the government’s Homes for Ukraine scheme, to support guests whose original sponsors are no longer able to house them. There is a particular need for volunteers who have space to house more than one adult, or groups with children, the council said. Child refugees need more protection from ministers Displacement Education Fund The  scheme , launched in March this year, encourages UK families to volunteer to house Ukrainian refugees for a minimum of six months, as the war in Ukraine continues to separate and displace families.
