The Origins of UNICEF traces the history of the founding of the
world's most well-known and often controversial relief aid
organization for children. UNICEF modeled itself after several
national organizations as well as some of the early
twentieth-century transnational and international relief aid
organizations, catering to a clientele that many observers claimed
would be impossible to resist or ignore. In only a few years,
UNICEF's programs provided relief aid to millions of children in
locations around the globe, but the atmosphere of post-war
cooperation, quickly supplanted by Cold War tensions, caused
UNICEF's efforts to be scrutinized lest they be too closely aligned
with either the United States or the Soviet Bloc. UNICEF remains
one of the most highly regarded and effective child relief-aid
organizations in the world. The story of its founding and its first
years as an aid organization provide insight into how an
international, apolitical, philanthropic organization must maneuver
through political and cultural tensions in order to achieve its
goal of mitigating human suffering.
