2010 Annual Report 2010 Annual Report 2010 Annual Report | U.S. Fund for UNICEF A B The fight for child survival takes place every day — in remote villages and in Fighting for Every Child bustling cities, in peaceful areas and in regions wracked by war, in places reachable by train or car and on terrain passable only by camel or donkey. It is a fight won painstakingly, child by child, vaccine by vaccine, mosquito net by mosquito net. And it is a fight in which success is often measured by what doesn’t happen — by what is prevented. In the last year, the generosity of our supporters has helped UNICEF combat — and prevent — the death and suffering of children all over the globe. After Haiti’s colossal earthquake in January claimed more than 220,000 lives, the immediate compassion shown by U.S. donors enabled UNICEF and its partners to act when it mattered most and to provide a critical lifeline to survivors. As a result, a second wave of deaths — in the form of disease and malnutrition — was averted in the months following the disaster. In many other countries — from Sudan to Guatemala, from Kyrgyzstan to Vietnam — your support made it possible for UNICEF to provide immunizations, health care, improved nutrition, clean water, protection, and education for millions of vulnerable Number of child deaths per day, 1990–2010 children and their families. The impact of these efforts is profound. UNICEF recently 35 35 announced that the number of children under age five dying each day has dropped yet again, from 24,000 to 22,000. This means that since 1990 — when 34,000 died every day — UNICEF and its partners have helped cut the global child mortality rate by one third. 30 30 Despite this undeniable progress, UNICEF has found that a child mortality gap is actually growing between the world’s poorest children and those from well-off families. This emerging disparity needs immediate attention, and while continuing its work of saving all children from preventable deaths, UNICEF is now redoubling efforts to reach the 25 25 most marginalized and the most remote. This approach could potentially prevent 60 (thousands) percent more child deaths. With your ongoing support, we can save even more young child deaths per day 22,000 lives each year and protect more promising futures. 20 0 1990 1994 1997 2001 2004 2010 2010 Annual Report | U.S. Fund for UNICEF 1 Organized under the laws of New York State as a not-for-profit corporation, the U.S. Fund for UNICEF is exempt from tax under Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is governed by an independent and non-salaried Board of Directors. The U.S. Fund for UNICEF qualifies for the maximum charitable contribution deduction by donors. A summary of activities and financial highlights for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2010, is described in this report. 2 It has been a year of enormous challenges and pivotal achievements, a year A Message from the in which U.S. Fund for UNICEF supporters, Board members, and staff all demonstrated a fierce determination to protect children from a host of dire threats around the world. Despite ongoing economic uncertainty, you continued Chair and the President to step forward when children needed you. For that, we are profoundly grateful. Immediately after Haiti’s horrific earthquake, a diverse group of U.S. Fund supporters responded with swift and amazing generosity. Thanks to you, the U.S. Fund raised more than $70 million for Haiti relief — funds that were crucial to UNICEF’s ability to overcome mammoth obstacles and to quickly and effectively provide lifesaving aid. In many other countries throughout the world, your contributions have made the difference between life and death, between opportunity and despair, for so many children. More than 640,000 individual donors contributed to the U.S. Fund in the past year — a striking reflection of the broad-based support UNICEF has throughout America. That generosity — combined with the partnership of corporations, foundations, non-governmental organizations, and sports teams — generated a total revenue of more than $435 million for the U.S. Fund in Fiscal Year 2010. We also welcomed the news that our former Board Chair Anthony Lake took the reins of UNICEF as its new Executive Director. This year presented an amazing and historic opportunity. We were deeply honored when longtime U.S. Fund partner Kiwanis International chose to collaborate with UNICEF to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus as its next global campaign for children. This momentous new partnership will help save the lives of babies and mothers around the world and put an end to a cruel, ancient disease. This exciting development was followed by truly wonderful news about the continuing decline in global under-five child mortality — from 24,000 deaths every day to 22,000. Your generosity has helped UNICEF get closer than ever before to the day when zero children die from preventable causes. We have come so far, thanks to you. We ask for your continued support to make it the rest of the way. Anthony Pantaleoni Caryl M. Stern Chair President and CEO 2010 Annual Report | U.S. Fund for UNICEF 3 UNICEF was founded in 1946 to help children in postwar Europe, China, and the Middle East. Today, as the United Nations Children’s Fund, it serves children and families in developing countries worldwide and depends entirely on voluntary contributions. The U.S. Fund was established in 1947, the first of 36 National Committees set up globally to support UNICEF through fundraising, education, and advocacy. Since its inception, the U.S. Fund has provided UNICEF and various NGOs with more than $4 billion in cash and gifts-in-kind. 4 A child sleeps soundly beneath a bed net in Kenya, protected from the deadly malaria The Nuts and Bolts that killed her brother. In Cambodia, a simple water filter puts a stop to a family’s chronic illness. A toddler in Niger receives the therapeutic milk that will bring him back from starvation. In Afghanistan, a girl runs as fast as she can to attend school of Saving Lives for the very first time. Street children in Kyrgyzstan get a place to learn. More than 5 million Angolan children are vaccinated against polio in just six days. Every day, in more than 150 countries and territories around the world, UNICEF’s staff of 10,000 are doing amazing work on behalf of children. And they are doing it thanks to voluntary contributions from donors like you. A dedicated but diverse group of supporters — individuals, non-governmental organizations, corporations, foundations, and governments U.S. FUND PROGRAM ASSISTANCE FY 2010* from around the globe — financially enable UNICEF to do so much for so many.

Resources 14% And these are just a few examples of UNICEF’s global work. UNICEF is renowned for its efficiency, and more than 90 percent of all money it receives goes directly to programs and supplies that help children.

The seventh grader walked over two miles in the scorching and Futures in Haiti heat, unaware of the larger disaster looming before her entire country. She arrived home and remembers that she was suddenly covered, head-to-toe, in white dust. The massive earthquake had just struck. She quickly learned that her mother was trapped beneath the rubble of what, just moments before, had been the family’s house. Judith recounted this painful memory to UNICEF Haiti staffers. “My family worked frantically to remove the rocks, but they were too heavy to lift and we could not move quickly enough,” said Judith. “That night we buried our mother.” Judith abruptly lost so much — her home and her mother — but one thing she did not lose was her beloved school.

  • Nextgen Tap Project Proposal 2014
    UNICEF’s Next Generation Tap Project: Providing the World’s Children with Safe and Clean Drinking Water February 2014 UNICEF’s Next Generation Tap Project: Providing the World’s Children with Safe and Clean Drinking Water February 2014 So much depends upon reliable access to safe drinking water, basic sanitation, and the knowledge and practice of proper hygiene—which is why water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) is one of UNICEF’s key focus areas. WASH programming intersects with and largely determines the success of efforts to reduce child mortality, disease, and poverty and to increase primary education, gender equality, and environmental sustainability. Each March during World Water Month, the UNICEF Tap Project invites volunteers, restaurants, corporate sponsors, celebrities, and government supporters across the country to raise funds and awareness around WASH and to help UNICEF provide clean water and adequate sanitation to children around the world. Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH) and UNICEF No one can survive without water. Yet 768 million people around the world do not have safe, clean water to drink, and more than 2.5 billion people live without a proper toilet. The lack of these basic necessities isn’t just inconvenient — it’s lethal. The numbers are staggering: an estimated 1,600 children under five die every day from diarrheal diseases and 1,400 of these deaths are linked to poor water, sanitation and hygiene. Diarrhea is the second largest killer of children under five in the developing world and can be reduced by up to 31 percent simply by improving water quality. It has long been said that prevention is the best cure, and ensuring that all children have sustainable access to clean water is among the most immediate and cost-effective ways to eliminate preventable death and disease.

  • Tap Project: Providing the World's Children with Safe and Clean Water
    UNICEF’s Next Generation Tap Project: Providing the World’s Children with Safe and Clean Water Tap Project: Providing the World’s Children with Safe and Clean Water Water: A Prerequisite for Human Development Water is life. We use water for numerous necessities from the moment we awake in the morning to the moment before we go to bed. Yet nearly 900 million people around the world do not have access to safe water, and 2.5 billion people—nearly half of humanity—live without proper sanitation. Diarrhea, which is caused mainly by dirty water, is still the second largest single cause of under-five child deaths worldwide, killing more children than AIDS, malaria, and measles combined. Inadequate access to safe water, coupled with poor hygiene practices, kill 4,000 children every day and leads to impoverishment and diminished opportunities for thousands more. The simple act of washing a child’s face with clean water can prevent debilitating diseases such as diarrhea and blinding trachoma, an infectious eye disease that spreads from child to child. Poor sanitation, water and hygiene have many other serious repercussions. Poor water and sanitation contributes to the 93 million children worldwide who are not in primary school. Children – and particularly girls – are denied their right to education because their schools lack private and decent sanitation facilities. In addition, millions of girls cannot attend class because they are forced to spend large parts of their day fetching water for their family. Poor farmers and wage earners are less productive due to illness, health systems are overwhelmed, and national economies suffer.
