your friends and let's raise a lot of money for the children of Haiti.

Letter from the Texas UNICEF Representative
Donations
Dear Friends,
As promised, I want to provide the latest update on our efforts in Haiti. I'm also very proud to tell you that the U.S. Fund for UNICEF is absorbing all
associated administrative costs so that 100 percent of every dollar you give to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF will directly support UNICEF’s relief efforts
for children in Haiti.
Thanks to those of you who have already made a generous contribution in support of these efforts. Every moment--and every dollar--counts. If you
wish to contribute and haven't done so already, please feel free to go online to www.unicefusa.org/haitiquake. One of my colleagues is now in Haiti and
will be blogging about our efforts.
UNICEF’s Response
Food, shelter, safe water, and sanitation are the highest priority interventions in emergency situations. Unless clean water and sanitation services are
quickly provided to emergency-affected children and their families, disease and death will follow. And unless good hygiene is consistently practiced by
affected people, the danger of diarrhea, cholera and other disease outbreaks will persist.
UNICEF has deployed critical supplies to Port-au-Prince and the surrounding areas to assist with recovery efforts, including clean water and sanitation,
therapeutic foods, medical supplies and temporary shelter. We will also be reuniting boys and girls who have become separated from their families and
protecting them from harm and exploitation.
Within 48 hours of the disaster, UNICEF’s global supply chain network succeeded in delivering 10,000 tarpaulins, 4,600 water containers, 5.5 million
water-purification tablets, 556,000 oral rehydration sachets and other supplies to meet the basic needs of up to 10,000 families. Moving forward, the
UNICEF Dominican Republic Country Office will temporarily be used as the emergency response hub and UNICEF Panama will continue to send
available basic and vital emergency materials.
In the coming days and weeks, UNICEF will continue to deliver hygiene kits, essential medicines, water purification tablets, portable toilets, soap,
cooking utensils, blankets, School-in-a Box kits, emergency nutrition services, immunization services, telecommunication systems, and more to aid in the
relief efforts. As the relief and recovery efforts continue, UNICEF will be there to help children and their families rebuild. UNICEF is giving Haitian
children the chance to survive thanks to the generous support of donors and partners alike.
The challenges are daunting. But with a worldwide goal of reducing the number of needless child deaths from 24,000 a day to zero, UNICEF is well
poised to respond to save children’s lives in any emergency. UNICEF will stay to help provide long-term recovery to the children and families that
survived this crisis.
Thank you for your lifesaving partnership!
Please don't hesitate to contact me 713-963-9390, ext. 24 or kturney@unicefusa.org for questions, comments, or to make a donation.
Best wishes,
