UNICEF

UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund, was created after World War II to provide emergency aid to children in Europe and Asia. Today, UNICEF works in more than 150 countries and territories—supported entirely with voluntary contributions.

Across the globe, wherever vulnerable children are struggling to survive, UNICEF is there with medicine, vaccines, clean water, and nutrition. Whatever vital help struggling children need, UNICEF will supply. Over the years, UNICEF has saved more children’s lives than any other humanitarian organization in the world. The U.S. Fund for UNICEF supports UNICEF’s mission through education, advocacy, and fundraising in the United States.

How does CKI help? At the 2005 Circle K International Convention in Greensboro, North Carolina, the International board of trustees passed a resolution supporting UNICEF. And at the 2007 International convention, CKI announced the Saving Lives: The Six Cents Initiative, to supply clean water and sanitation to children worldwide.
