welcome letter Dear Friends,

Welcome to UNICEF Changemaker, our virtual gathering in this unprecedented year. We are so pleased to have you join us!

The importance of UNICEF’s work for children has never been more urgent.

UNICEF’s COVID-19 response has helped keep vulnerable children safe, provided digital learning for children at home, and accelerated access to life-saving supplies. UNICEF is poised to take a global leadership role in the procurement and supply of COVID-19 vaccines when they are available. As the global leader in vaccine distribution and the largest vaccine buyer in the world, UNICEF procures more than 2 billion doses of vaccines annually for routine immunizations and outbreaks in nearly 100 countries.

UNICEF continues to have an impact on a global scale. Earlier this year, for instance, the World Health Organization officially certified the African region as wild polio-free. Since UNICEF joined the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988, worldwide polio cases have been reduced by 99.9 percent.

The real change makers are people like Adama, a vaccinator in Mali working on the frontlines in rural communities that would not otherwise have access to vaccines. We are gathering to celebrate the thousands of people like him who work tirelessly to serve the needs of the world’s children. You are a change maker, too. The critical work of UNICEF depends on what we do together to realize our shared vision of a world that upholds the rights of all children and helps every child thrive. Thank you for your unwavering support during this urgent moment in history.

A Word From Dear Friends,

On behalf of Johnson & Johnson and UNICEF USA, thank you for making the 2020 Changemaker: A Benefit for Children virtual event one to remember!

Thinking back to the beginning of the year, we couldn’t have foreseen the extent that COVID-19 was going to stop the world in its tracks. Over the past 11 months, thriving metropolises ground to a halt, health systems were strained to the brink of collapse and social distancing became a normal part of everyday life. At the same time, we experienced economic uncertainty and demand for racial and social justice.

While 2020 has brought these challenges to the forefront, it also has sparked an inspiring response. Humanity is bringing the best of what we have to address the obstacles that have crossed our paths. This is what UNICEF Changemaker is all about—recognizing the heroes who served on the frontlines throughout this turbulent time.

From doctors and nurses to midwives and community health workers, the global health community has put forth a truly remarkable effort. Now, they are counting on us to continue supporting them as we combat the coronavirus and build back our health systems to be stronger and more equitable than ever before.

At Johnson & Johnson, we share UNICEF USA’s belief that if we break down barriers faced by frontline health workers, we will advance health for everyone, everywhere. Through the training and empowerment of frontline health workers and providing innovative tools that help vulnerable women and children, fantastic progress has been made – but we are just getting started.

We are truly living in an extraordinary time. As we look ahead, I am energized that together we can continue to shine a light on children and families in need, driving even greater impact in 2021 and beyond.

• 163 pairs of protective boots needed to go wherever vulnerable children are endangered

• 8,150 surgical masks to prevent contamination between patients and doctors (50 masks per kit)

UNICEF COVID-19 RESPONSE

How is UNICEF helping to fight the coronavirus?

UNICEF has delivered tens of millions of protective items for health workers, including medical equipment, and hygiene supplies.

When a COVID-19 vaccine is ready, UNICEF will lead global efforts to procure and supply vaccine doses for 92 lower- and middle-income countries and can serve as procurement coordinator for at least 80 higher income countries.

When schools closed in 186 countries, interrupting the education of 1.29 billion students, UNICEF focused on finding ways to help children keep learning, working closely with education partners to provide high-quality remote learning and prioritize the safe reopening of schools.

Take Action #ForEveryChild We invite you to take your commitment to UNICEF USA to the next level by advocating, fundraising, building community, and speaking out on behalf of the world’s children.

Here are two ways you can take action today:

1

In September 2020, the U.S. House unanimously passed the Global Child Thrive Act, bipartisan legislation that would strengthen the implementation of early childhood development (ECD) in U.S. foreign assistance programs. Now, we need your help to get this bill over the finish line and passed in the Senate before the current Congressional session concludes at the end of the calendar year.

Go to act.unicefusa.org/thrive to urge your U.S. Senators to support this critical piece of legislation. The COVID-19 pandemic has put the world’s most vulnerable children at even higher risk. This is your chance to help level the playing field and show Congress that ECD is the key to providing a fair start in life #ForEveryChild.
