UNICEF and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
For over a decade, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and UNICEF have worked together to improve the health and well-being of the most vulnerable children and mothers around the world. By providing critical support and resources, we are helping ensure every mother and child is protected and healthy and can thrive. Our long-standing collaboration has created sustainable impact for millions of children and families through UNICEF programs focused on health, education, nutrition and emergencies. Thanks to generous contributions from Church members, including through the annual Light the World initiative, our collaboration is supporting programs for mothers and children in 30 countries and counting.
