Mark your calendars: This Wednesday, October 24th, the UN Foundation will help celebrate “United Nations Day,” and we want you to join us!
UN Day commemorates the founding of the UN 67 years ago; it’s also a day to recognize the lifesaving work that the UN performs around the world every day. The UN provides food to 90 million people. It promotes maternal health, saving the lives of 30 million women a year. And it fights poverty, helping 370 rural poor in the past three decades.
This Wednesday, help us spread the word about the importance of the UN’s work.
