As many of you know, IPSF-Pacific hosted its 3rd annual Pacific Without Borders in June, and part of the proceedings went to support the UNICEF's immunization program! You can also support UNICEF by spreading the word. Find out how by reading the post below!

Leo Messi cares that last year alone, 6.6 million babies and children under 5 died, mainly from preventable causes. That’s around 18,000 every day! For his son Thiago’s birthday wish, he wants you to help spread the word to help end these preventable deaths!

Do your part, spread the word, and you could win an incredible prize from Messi: http://uni.cf/MT1

Learn about what UNICEF has done to end polio!

On World Polio Day, we're so close to ending this devastating disease. Just 3 countries remain endemic - Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan - but they've seen 40% fewer cases since this time in 2012.

In Afghanistan, how we're gaining the support of religious leaders and madrasa schools to reach every last child with the polio vaccine - watch: http://uni.cf/19Am9cF

New vaccine against malaria is now available in Kenya, and it might help end suffering and loss of lives in most parts of sub-Saharan Africa.

Last week GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) announced success with its anti-malaria vaccine, RTS,S. To many Kenyans, it meant an end to suffering and loss of lives to the disease that ravages most parts of sub-Saharan Africa. But to the government this development could mean more than that.
