UNICEF FOR CHILDREN

  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. Together, we will create a better future for the world’s children. UNICEF Please enter a description AMOUNT USD Please enter a price Please enter an Invoice ID

  Why so many humanitarian crises are ‘forgotten’, and 5 ideas to change that UN Secretary-General António Guterres is surrounded by dozens of journalists as he visits towns around the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, in April 2022. Focusing on a narrow set of sources, journalists can often overlook what affected people have to say.

But you are unlikely to read or hear about it in most news outlets.
