Save a child’s lifewith a UNICEF Inspired Gift

2010 INSPIRED GIFTS HOLIDAY CATALOG

Every day, 22,000 children die in the developing world from causes that are totally preventable. Simple, affordable solutions exist to save millions of these young lives, but sadly, millions of children are deprived of these lifesaving necessities. Vaccines, mosquito nets, clean water, nutritious food, and a safe haven from harm are matters of life and death for many of these children.

That’s why the Inspired Gifts in this catalog are so important, and your support can help UNICEF deliver many of these lifesaving essentials. By simply selecting one or more items in this catalog, you’ll help UNICEF:

• Provide food and medicines to children living in harsh circumstances – from poverty to exploitation, armed confl icts to natural disasters.

• Immunize children against diseases like polio and measles so they have the chance to survive.

• Provide basic school supplies to educate children, giving them a chance for a happy, self-reliant future.

Join UNICEF’s mission to decrease the number of preventable childhood deaths from 22,000 each day to zero. A good way to start is to simply choose Inspired Gifts from this catalog.

Measles Vaccines

Each year, measles kills hundreds of thousands of children worldwide, and those who are lucky enough to survive may be left with life-long disabilities that include blindness and brain damage. Fortunately, low-cost immunizations are a safe and easy prevention strategy that protects children from acquiring this deadly disease.

Vaccine Carriers Vaccines save lives. But it can be diffi cult to keep them at the right temperatures in hot climates. That’s why this gift is so inventive. Your purchase of cold-box vaccine carriers can make sure we get vaccines to children in remote areas who need them.

Insecticide-Treated Mosquito NetsMosquito-borne malaria is the biggest single killer of children in Africa, where a child dies from malaria every 30 seconds. A simple mosquito net can decrease infection rates by 50 percent. Your gift will enable UNICEF to buy three nets treated with long-lasting insect repellent to protect children from the menace of malaria.

Therapeutic Nut SpreadMalnutrition starves the body’s ability to repair itself, saps energy, blunts the intellect, and contributes to more than half of all child deaths. Therapeutic Nut Spread is a high-protein, high-energy, peanut-based paste that revives children with remarkable results. Three sachets a day can save the life of a child suffering from severe malnutrition.

Therapeutic Milk UNICEF strongly supports and encourages breastfeeding as the best way to prevent malnu-trition. But in extreme situations, therapeutic milk is used to save malnourished children’s lives. Your Inspired Gift will buy almost 100 liters of this “magic” milk used in emergency feeding cen-ters and clinics to bring a rapid return to health and vigor.

Oral Rehydration SaltsAround 3,500 children die each day from diarrheal dehydration caused by drinking contaminated water. Oral Re-hydration Salts (ORS) are a glucose-based salt solution that replaces lost fl uids and salts and revives children. It has been estimated that this simple solution saves the lives of more than one million children every year.

High Energy/Protein BiscuitsYour Inspired Gift provides 8 kilograms of high-protein biscuits, specially developed for young children in emergency situations. Energy biscuits contain vitamins and micronutrients, and are an excellent source of nutrition, especially for children in the aftermath of a natural disaster like the Haiti earthquake.

HIV Test KitEvery minute of every day, a baby is born with HIV, passed on by their mother during pregnancy, labor, or delivery. The fi rst step to preventing the spread of mother-to-child HIV/AIDS is to supply tests for pregnant mothers. Your Inspired Gift can provide 100 tests to make sure HIV-positive mothers will receive the medicine they need to prevent the trans-mission of the disease to their children.

Water Well Hand PumpWithout clean water, thousands of children die every day from diarrhea and other water-borne diseases.

MotorcycleIn many of the countries UNICEF serves, schools and villages are located in remote areas that can only be accessed through moun-tain passes, dirt roads, or nearly impassable paths. This motorcycle will enable UNICEF workers to deliver medical supplies quickly and safely. Your Inspired Gift of a motorcycle will expand our reach to help children in need!

BicycleIn this high-tech world, sometimes it’s the low-tech solutions that work best. That’s why you can’t beat a bike when it comes to delivering medicine, emergency nutrition, and other life-saving supplies. Bikes use human energy...they can navigate mountain trails and impassable roads...anyone can use one...and in an emergency, pedal power saves lives!

Notebooks and PencilsGive something that can help the world’s poorest children reach their potential: an education. Your purchase will sup-ply 50 notebooks and 50 pencils which help form an essential part of a child’s schooling. These simple learning tools enable children to write and draw – something we often take for granted.
