Israeli Fund for UNICEF
The Israeli Fund for UNICEF is the Israeli non-profit and non-governmental organization that supports the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). The Israeli Fund for UNICEF, a volunteer-led education and fundraising organization, was first founded in 1969 by Ms. Zena Harman. Harman was already a good friend to UNICEF:  As a delegate of the Israeli government to the UNICEF Executive Board, she served as the Board’s Chairperson from 1963 to 1965, during which time, as Chair, she actually accepted the Nobel Prize in Oslo on behalf of UNICEF. Back in Israel, she was elected the first Chair of the Israeli Fund for UNICEF. The Israeli Fund opened its new Tel Aviv office in 2009 and is one of the 36 UNICEF national committees that support UNICEF worldwide through resource mobilization, advocacy, and education.
