UNICEF
The United Nations Children's Funds is an organization that is focused on saving and protecting kids from natural disasters, poverty, illness, etc.
It is our mission to help the future generations of the world in any way we can, with the intention of becoming better role models in the community and for children.
Your UNICEF Cabinet
The cabinet consists of four seniors who will be graduating in June 2018, but until then, they will do their best to host successful fundraisers and raise awareness about the UNICEF organization.

Month Theme: World Immunization Awareness
Vaccines keep children alive and healthy by protecting them against disease. Immunization is especially important for the hardest to reach families as it can also be a bridge to other life-saving care for mothers and children in isolated communities – such as child nutritional screening, anti-malarial mosquito nets, vitamin A supplements and de-worming tablets. Immunization is one of the most successful and cost-effective public health investments we can make for future generations.
Vaccines are protecting more children than ever before. But, in 2015, nearly one in five infants - 19.4 million children - missed out on the basic vaccines they need to stay healthy. Low immunization levels compromise gains in all other areas of health for mothers and children. The poorest, most vulnerable children who need immunization the most continue to be the least likely to get it.
Almost one third of deaths among children under 5 are preventable by vaccine. UNICEF and its partners are working to change these numbers and ensure that all children are successfully protected with vaccines. But, if immunization is not prioritized, the most marginalized children will not get vaccines, which could mean the difference between life and death.
