Usage notes
Founded in 1946 as the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund to help children after World War II, it was renamed in 1953 but kept its familiar acronym. It won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1965. It relies entirely on voluntary contributions, including large private donations through national committees.
