Meet UNICEF
Active in over 190 countries, in some of the most disadvantaged areas, United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) is one of the most renown humanitarian organizations in the world working to protect and drive change for all children, all over the world. To do so, UNICEF has established programs which provide vaccinations, combat malnourishment, promote education for girls, and much more. They operate as a donor organization, primarily giving money to country branches and other organizations.
UNICEF’s efforts have resulted in the administration of 2.5 billion vaccines in 2016 — reaching almost half the world’s children under five — and the provision of clean drinking water to over 2.6 billion people in the last few decades. In 2022, UNICEF was the largest provider of food and nutrition to young children, with over 7.3 million children receiving lifesaving nutritional support. Additionally, Trick or Treat for UNICEF, a program where kids can collect money for UNICEF on Halloween, has raised almost $200 million since in 1950.
Approximately 82% of funding goes directly towards UNICEF projects — 50% of which are allocated to programs helping children “survive and thrive.”
