Congress: Preserve Funding for UNICEF in the 2014 Budget!
- van: UNICEF USA
- ontvanger: United States Congress
Since its creation in 1947, UNICEF has saved more children's lives than any humanitarian organization in the world. No other organization does more to help vulnerable children around the world to survive and thrive.
UNICEF's partnership with the U.S. Government and the American people makes a profound difference in children's lives. UNICEF and the United States helped to cut the number of under-five child deaths from 12 million a year in 1990, to 6.9 million today.
However, we cannot forget the chilling fact that approximately 19,000 children still die every day from preventable causes.
We believe that number should be ZERO!
Congress is currently working on the appropriations for Fiscal Year 2014. We believe that the budget they decide on should reflect the values of the American people to make children a priority of our international assistance.
Send a message to Congress today: Preserve funding for UNICEF in the 2014 budget, because a child in need knows no politics!

Dear [Decision Maker],
I am writing to ask you to provide $135 million for Fiscal Year 2014 as the U.S. Government's voluntary contribution to UNICEF, included in the International Organizations and Programs Account of the State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations.

The U.S. Government's support for UNICEF is an effective investment in saving and improving the lives of vulnerable children around the world, and is an example of assistance that reflects our American values.
Since its founding in 1947, UNICEF has saved more children's lives than any humanitarian organization. Thanks to strong, bipartisan House and Senate support for UNICEF and for child survival, the number of children dying before age five from preventable causes has dropped by more than half since 1960. However, 6.9 million children still die every year unnecessarily, and UNICEF continues to work to reach every single vulnerable child.
The funding UNICEF receives in the annual appropriations enables UNICEF to be an indispensable partner of the United States in saving children from preventable deaths, supporting basic education, fighting the impact of HIV/AIDS on children, and protecting children from violence, exploitation, and abuse. The contribution also enables UNICEF to partner with American service organizations such as Kiwanis International to fight iodine deficiency disorders and maternal and neonatal tetanus, and Rotary International to work for the global eradication of polio. These are examples of successful initiatives that are strongly supported by the American people.
The U.S. contribution to UNICEF is one of the most worthwhile global investments in children we can make, so I encourage you to support $135 million for UNICEF in the appropriations for FY 2014.
Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
