The “Frimousses de Créateurs” exhibit in Paris at the Petit Palais!
For the 11th edition, designers rallied to the benefit of UNICEF, creating 95 dolls around the theme of “Paris Merveilleux”. Designers, artists, jewelers and photographers shaped these little dolls, which will be auctioned off on Monday December 2 to support UNICEF’s work with children in Darfur.
We were at the opening and here are our favorites.
In Darfur, only one child in three is vaccinated and protected against the diseases that kill. In 2012, 300,000 children under the age of one were saved by full vaccination!
During 2012, UNICEF France’s contribution also enabled us to provide technical and operational support to the Ministry of Health: purchase of vaccines, rehabilitation of the cold chain system, response to the increase in the number of measles cases recorded, capacity-building for staff, health workers and the community.
Thanks to interventions by UNICEF and its partners on the ground, immunization coverage for women and children in Darfur is catching up with the rest of the country. These interventions aim to reduce maternal and child mortality due to vaccine-preventable diseases in the Darfur regions.
However, violence and insecurity persist in some areas of Darfur, and global initiatives to vaccinate every child are stalling as funding dwindles.
The “Frimousses de Créateurs” event aims to raise as much money as possible to vaccinate all the children and women in Darfur. They need you!
