America's Partnership with UNICEF
A report to the United States
Moses Omondi in Kenya, Elsy Lopez and William Gonzales in El Salvador,
Tocoma Nugunfori in Uganda, Rinky in India, Monjila in Bangladesh, and
20 million other children around the world are alive today because UNICEF
has led the charge in focusing the world’s attention on children.
The United States and UNICEF have a long history of partnership in trying
to make the world a better place for children. During the last decade the
United States has contributed more than $840 million to UNICEF and is,
in the truest sense of the word, a partner with UNICEF around the globe.
These voluntary contributions to the General Resources fund have provided
UNICEF with the foundation to work in more than 140 countries and to maintain
a global campaign for child survival. After the TV cameras have left, this
funding allows UNICEF to stay on the ground to build permanent programs
for the future, and to be ready if there is another Rwanda-type crisis
anywhere in the world.
