The following facts came from The Fact Site.
11th December – UNICEF Birthday.
Founded in 1946 to aid children and mothers suffering in countries torn apart by WW2.
Originally named United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund, they eventually expanded their charitable efforts to mothers and children in developing countries.
Over time they dropped the worlds “international” and “emergency” and are just called the United Nations Children’s Fund, but they kept the acronym UNICEF, presumably because it sounds punchier that UNCF, which sounds more like the noise my uncle makes when he sits down.
UNICEF receives two-thirds of its funding from the government, and the rest from private and public donors, and because they aren’t evil, at least 92% of their revenues are used to fund their charity work, which is a lot more than other charities.
They continue to promote children’s health with community-level projects all around the world, from vaccinations to teaching classes.
Give some time, or even money today to celebrate 75 years of doing good.
Think of the children, the sad ones, who don’t yell in the cinema.
