The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is providing US$10 million to
UNICEF, enabling the humanitarian organization to help vulnerable women and
children across four countries.

The donation will strengthen health systems in the Central African Republic
(CAR), Haiti, Mali and Mozambique. These areas of high maternal and infant
mortality are in critical need of improved health infrastructure and human
resources to keep mothers and children healthy and safe.

“As Latter-day Saints, it is our joyful privilege to work together in weaving a
tapestry of hope and healing for all of God’s children,” said Relief Society
General President Camille N. Johnson. “We are grateful for our longstanding
collaboration with skilled professionals at UNICEF who extend the reach of our
helping hands.”

In CAR and Mozambique, UNICEF will focus its work in regions with high numbers
of children who have not received any immunizations and are therefore left
vulnerable to vaccine-preventable diseases. In Haiti and Mali, UNICEF will
deliver essential support to hospitals and health districts with high neonatal
mortality rates and poor health services. Together, these programs will reach
mothers, children and their communities with access to better, more resilient
health care services.

“Through more than 10 years of partnership, The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to supporting
UNICEF’s mission to reach children around the world with lifesaving health and
nutrition services,” said Michael J. Nyenhuis, president and CEO, UNICEF USA.
“We are grateful for this generous contribution to help UNICEF scale up routine
immunizations for preventable diseases and invest in sustainable health systems
to build their resiliency to ongoing and future threats to the survival of
mothers and children.”

The global collaboration of the Church and UNICEF began more than a decade ago
with a donation for immunizations in Jordan. Other projects include the
following:

 * Support for maternal and neonatal tetanus elimination (2014–present), which
   has targeted over 8 million women of reproductive age across nine countries
 * Aid for refugees in Europe (2015)
 * Scaling up Early Childhood Development (ECD) programs for over 100,000
   displaced children and host communities through the Learning for Life
   partnership in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Sudan and Uganda
   (2018-present)
 * Granting children access to ECD and informed over 40,000 caregivers with
   child development and caregiving best practices
 * A global COVID-19 vaccine distribution effort (2021) through which UNICEF and
   partners that delivered over 2 billion vaccines in 146 countries
 * And, most recently, the prevention and treatment of wasting in children
   through the global No Time to Waste initiative

“We are pleased to work together with UNICEF as we strive to create a world
where every woman and child is cherished, protected and empowered,” said the
Church’s Presiding Bishop Gérald Caussé. “Guided by the pure love of Christ,
Latter-day Saints stand united with our brothers and sisters to build a brighter
future for generations to come.”

About Humanitarian Services of the Church of Jesus Christ

The Church’s 2022 annual report on caring for those in need shows that the
faith’s efforts to care for those in need included more than $1 billion in
expenditures, 6.3 million hours volunteered and 3,692 humanitarian projects in
190 countries and territories.

The humanitarian efforts of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
relieve suffering, foster self-reliance and provide opportunities for service.
The Church follows the admonition of Jesus Christ to feed the hungry, give drink
to the thirsty, take in the stranger, clothe the naked and visit the sick and
afflicted.

This humanitarian outreach is made possible by the generous donations and
volunteerism of Latter-day Saints and friends of the faith. The Church gives
assistance without regard to race, religious affiliation or nationality. Aid is
based on the core principles of personal responsibility, community support,
self-reliance and sustainability.

This project is funded in part by LDS Charities Australia.
