The UNICEF clubs at Drexel, Wellesley and Temple are organizing a virtual fundraiser for UNICEF's work in Venezuela.
WHY?
This Latin American country is in a deep economic, social, humanitarian, emigration and political crisis. Venezuelans have little to no access to food, water, transportation, education, and more; thus, leaving the children of Venezuela impoverished and deprived of basic human necessities. Any contribution counts! All donations will go to UNICEF's Emergency Relief Program in Venezuela.
For children, it has been increasingly difficult to access food and water and attend school regularly
The deteriorating situation inside Venezuela has so far left an estimated one million children out of school
Some 6.8 million people are undernourished, and the prevalence of undernourishment is increasing
An estimated 1.3 million children are in need of protection, and 2.2 million children require access to education
