This is a speech about UNICEF that I did at my school last year... We were supposed to write a speech about a Nobel Peace Prize winner, and I picked UNICEF.
It's not very long, but I think it was pretty okay. Here it goes...

UNICEF. I’m sure everyone has heard of UNICEF at least once. UNICEF stands for United Nations Children’s Fund. This is a shortened version of the original name, United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund.
This is the UNICEF logo. It shows an adult holding up a child, and there is a globe in the background. The adult and the child symbolize protection and care for children, and the globe means that UNICEF gives help to countries all around the globe.
UNICEF was created by the United Nations General Assembly in 1946. Its original purpose was to help children in countries that had been torn apart by World War II. Later, in 1953, UNICEF became a permaenent part of the United Nations System, and received its new shortened name, United Nations Children’s Fund. The headquarters of UNICEF are located in New York City. For years, UNICEF has been helping children and mothers in developing countries who need education and health care.
UNICEF does many things to help children. It protects children from violence, and it provides free education for both boys and girls so that they can have a good start in life. Also, it promotes health by ensuring that every child recieves health care. UNICEF believes that good care for children is extremely important in making human progress. Millions of children all over the world have been given a new, better life, thanks to UNICEF’s help.
UNICEF received the Nobel Peace Prize on October 26th, 1965. As I have already explained, UNICEF has worked hard for the safety and health of children, and through their work, they have created a global partnership which includes hundreds of countries, organizations, and people. This promotion of better life for children without distinction of race, religion, or gender, and creation of a bond among nations was seen to be worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize, which is the reason UNICEF received the prize.
UNICEF has a huge effect on various parts of the world, and it has influenced many lives. Over 120 governments and 6 million individuals support and contribute to UNICEF’s work for children, and over 100 countries are receiving aid from UNICEF. If UNICEF grows until it is able to provide aid for all the children in the world, perhaps a day will come when UNICEF is no longer needed.
