NEW YORK, 23. Februar 2009: United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF) initiatives supporting some of the poorest people in India are set to receive a 48 million US dollar boost from Swedish retail giant IKEA, the agency announced Monday, coinciding with the day of International Corporate Philanthropy.
The donation, the latest from the IKEA Social Initiative, will go towards projects aimed at improving the health and survival of tens of millions of women and children in some of India’s most deprived areas.
The donation from the IKEA Social Initiative will allow UNICEF to support local and national government-led health, nutrition, clean water and sanitation projects, including those providing infants with immunizations and vitamin A supplements, as well as programmes advocating breastfeeding and the importance of nutritious food for children under the age of 24 months.
