Right now, the lives of the most vulnerable children hang in the balance as conflicts and crises jeopardize the care and protection they deserve. The need to support children grows more urgent every year, and dependable and effective foreign aid is critical to the well-being of millions.
Recent cuts to foreign assistance globally mean that many of the most important programs protecting children will be severely curtailed or cease to exist. That is why we are asking Congress to provide $150 million to UNICEF’s core resources for the next fiscal year.
Send a message to your members of Congress and urge them to support investments in foreign assistance to help the millions of children at risk around the world.
With your support for UNICEF USA’s advocacy for children over the past year, here’s what we've made possible when we’ve urged Congress to act:
-
Passing the reauthorization of the READ Act, ensuring that U.S. foreign assistance will continue to prioritize access to quality education globally
-
Passing the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) in the Senate to protect the mental health and well-being of children when accessing online platforms
-
Securing essential funding to support UNICEF’s work for children since 1946. Last year, this helped UNICEF deliver critical services for millions of children globally, including providing more than 36 million people with safe drinking water and helping nearly 40 million children access education
|
With your help, UNICEF has been able to work tirelessly to ensure that every child is healthy, educated, protected and respected. But this work cannot continue without America’s support. The U.S. Government’s bipartisan and voluntary contributions to UNICEF are an effective and worthwhile investment in a better world for all, and we urge Congress to help ensure children everywhere can survive and thrive.
Send your members of Congress an email today and let them know how important it is to invest in UNICEF and the well-being of children at home and around the world.
Thank you for making a difference,
UNICEF USA |
