UNICEF
USA, also
known as U.S. Committee for UNICEF, is one of 38 national committees set
up around the world to raise money for UNICEF, which works in more than
140 countries providing health care, clean water, improved nutrition,
and education to millions of children in Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern
Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East.
Our
mission is to promote the survival, protection and development of all
children worldwide through fundraising, advocacy and education. Staff

Fund in three important ways:

to "Trick-or-Treat" for UNICEF during October, National
UNICEF Month

to support programs that put children first, both in the U.S. and
overseas
