What is The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF?

The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF is a joint undertaking of between the Harrison family and the U.S. Fund for UNICEF that aims to support UNICEF programs, providing lifesaving assistance to children caught in humanitarian emergencies.

Every year, UNICEF identifies countries and territories suffering from the results of civil conflict, natural disaster, and poverty—countries where children are vulnerable to malnutrition, disease, exploitation, and abuse.  As with Bangladesh in the 1970's, many of these emergencies are still virtually ignored by the media and critically underfunded.

In the tradition established by George Harrison and Ravi Shankar, The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF continues to support UNICEF programs in Bangladesh while expanding its influence to include other countries in crisis where children are at risk. 

This year, every dollar raised through The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF - Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF match challenge will be doubled by The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF to benefit the Schools in Africa program.
