1,500 more children are alive today

The number of children dying each day has significantly dropped to 24,000. That’s 1,500 more children waking up, playing with friends, making their mothers laugh, and dreaming of the exciting things they’ll do when they grow up.
This reduction in child mortality demonstrates in a concrete way that your support and UNICEF’s leadership, efficiency and resolve are getting us closer to a day when zero children die from preventable causes.
From measles campaigns in Pakistan to emergency therapeutic food in Ethiopia; from tetanus vaccination in Indonesia to well drilling in Sudan; from hurricane relief in Haiti to anti-malarial bed net distribution in Nigeria—UNICEF’s work is having a huge impact.
We know without question that we are on the right path. We must now marshal all our willpower, all our resources, to make sure that—in the fight for survival—not a single child is forgotten.
Unicef needs your help more than ever. 24,000 daily child deaths can become 12,000… then 6,000… and one day, zero.
