Continuing the effort to care for women and children in need around the world, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is donating $25 million to a UNICEF effort that provides nutrition to millions of children and mothers around the world.

The Church’s donation is also matched with an additional $25 million through the CNF Match Challenge, bringing the total impact to $50 million, according to a news release on ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

UNICEF’s Child Nutrition Fund is a global initiative that works to prevent and treat malnutrition.

This donation will help UNICEF with its goal to reach up to 320 million children and women each year by 2030 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Nigeria, the Philippines, and Sierra Leone.
