Please Support UNICEF and Children Worldwide

Dear Representative,

For more than 60 years, in partnership with the U.S. Government and the American people, UNICEF has made an enormous difference in saving children's lives and protecting their futures. With U.S. support, UNICEF helped cut the world's child mortality rate in half since 1960, proving that progress for children is possible even in poor countries, with political will, sound strategies, and funding.

Sadly, however, in too many poor countries and communities around the world, too many children do not survive. Every year, 9.2 million children under five years old die from mostly preventable causes. Pneumonia and diarrhea alone account for a third of all child deaths. Children are most at risk in sub-Saharan Africa, which accounts for 22 per cent of global births, but almost half of under-five deaths.

Along with UNICEF, I believe that number should be ZERO.

To make this vision a reality and protect the vulnerable during times of I urge you to support expanding UNICEF's funding from Congress from $130m in FY 2009 to $135m in FY 2010.

This is a small price to pay to protect and improve children's lives around the world and I hope you will join me in my support of UNICEF's work.

[Your name here]
