UNICEF Ireland supports the work of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) by raising funds for its programmes and increasing awareness of the challenges facing the world's children. Working in more than 150 countries, UNICEF is committed to finding the best and most cost effective ways to save children's lives. 20 million children’s lives have been saved by UNICEF-provided vaccinations. Tens of millions more children have been able to survive and lead healthier and happier lives with the support of UNICEF programmes. Despite these successes, over nine million children still die each year, and countless others remain trapped in a cycle of poverty and inadequate healthcare that keeps them on the brink of survival.
