While immunization is one of the most cost-effective ways to protect children against deadly diseases, millions of children still go without necessary vaccines, including 23.7 million under the age of 1 year without the measles vaccine, according to data gathered by U.S. Fund for UNICEF. Polio, tetanus, and measles are all preventable by vaccine, and can cause irreversible damage and death. As part of its efforts to ensure zero children die of a preventable cause, and to ensure healthy environments for children all over the world, UNICEF conducts immunization programs that aim to fight disease and its effects on communities.

U.S. Fund for UNICEF’s Inspired Gifts program creates opportunities for donors to purchase specific lifesaving items, such as blankets, mosquito nets, and therapeutic milk, which are then shipped to children in more than 150 countries. Through its Inspired Gifts program, UNICEF aims to provide immunization kits filled with 20 doses of the tetanus vaccine, 20 doses of the polio vaccine, and 10 doses of the measles vaccine to mothers and children, in an effort to reduce the destructive capacity of those diseases across the globe. Each kit travels to its destination in a cold carrier box to maintain the appropriate temperature, and costs $20.

Join G-Team and donate $10 to help U.S. Fund for UNICEF prevent disease among women and children in more than 150 countries. If G-Team members raise $2,000, then U.S. Fund for UNICEF can distribute 200 immunization kits with tetanus, polio, and measles vaccines to women and children, with matching donations of up to $25,000 from an anonymous donor. Each additional $20 raised will fund another immunization kit.

Unlike traditional Groupon deals, G-Team campaigns typically don't offer you a "discount" or "savings." So "buyer" beware—when you click "Buy" to donate your time or money to a worthwhile G-Team cause, the only discount you may receive is 100% off free, priceless karma. Read more about G-Team.

All donations will be matched up to a $25,000 total by an anonymous donor.

The Groupon Guide to: Seeds

Seeds are tiny wooden eggs laid by plants in warm, moist soil where they hatch into the next generation of baby plants. What do you need to know in order to survive in the high-stakes world of seeds?

• Pumpkin seeds can be roasted over an open fire to make a delicious Halloween curse upon your enemies—usually temporary blindness or the “mittening” of their hands.

• Fluffy dandelion seeds aloft on the breeze are the most frequent cause of bunny sneezes. It might be cute for you, but do you think the bunny wants to sneeze?

• The Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway preserves seeds of countless different species in the event of global catastrophe or as a repository of cheap snacks to smuggle into the movies in a Ziploc bag.

• Acorns are more than a seed for a mighty oak—they are a blank canvas on which to draw a tiny beatnik who already comes with his own beret. Sell these at your local farmers' market in order to no longer have any financial worries, ever.
