U.S. Fund for UNICEF Southwest Regional Office

The U.S. Fund for UNICEF saves and protects the lives of children by supporting UNICEF’s work through fundraising, advocacy and education in the United States. Our mission is to work toward the day when zero children die from preventable causes by doing whatever it takes to give them the basics for a healthy childhood.

Whatever it takes to save a child Everything that UNICEF does is for one purpose: to help children survive. Almost 10 million children die needlessly every year. We believe that every child has the right to survive, and we will do whatever it takes to save a child.

UNICEF is on the ground Every moment of every day, UNICEF is on the ground providing lifesaving help for children in need. We provide families with clean water and sanitation, we vaccinate against childhood illness, and we help protect children against malaria. We provide nourishment to fight malnutrition, and we care for children affected by AIDS. We protect children from abuse, and we give them an education. We are here to make sure that all children lead a healthy, humane, and dignified life.

Sixty years of results UNICEF has been helping children for over 60 years and has saved more children’s lives than any other organization in the world. We have the history and the experience to overcome obstacles like politics and poverty—even war—which can stand in the way of helping a child survive. While we could never do it alone, we are often the ones who reach children in need after everyone else has given up.

We invite you to join us in our efforts to save the world’s children
