In this video, President and CEO of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, Caryl M. Stern, delivers an urgent personal message about the child refugee crisis. 

“The refugee crisis, for me, conjures up images of my mom and her brother. My mom was 6; her brother was 4. They came to this country alone. Their parents knew it was the only way they could save their lives — to put them on a boat and send them to America. And luckily, America’s shores and doors were open ... I can’t imagine what that choice was like for her mom, or for millions of moms who are facing that same choice today.”  

The facts are staggering. There are more children on the run today than there were at any other period since World War II. 

UNICEF is responding by providing immunizations, water, health care and education to child migrants and child refugees.
