Los Angeles, California

In 1994, the Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund, a non-profit organization, was created in New York to continue Audrey's international appeals on behalf of ill-treated and suffering children around the world.

In 1998, the Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund relocated to Los Angeles where it remains today.

The Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund has a growing number of diverse programs:

Audrey Hepburn Memorial Fund at the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, dedicated to educating children in Somalia, Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Rwanda.
The first Audrey Hepburn Children's House, located at Hackensack University Medical Center, offering comprehensive treatment for physically and emotionally abused children in a "child friendly" environment.
The Audrey Hepburn CARES Team at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, providing the very best medical and mental health services to suspected victims of child abuse.
The Audrey Hepburn CARE Center at Childrens Hospital New Orleans, a comprehensive forensic medicine center aiding in the treatment, prevention and care of maltreated children.
"All Children In School" Program, the recently established ten-year joint-venture with the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, aimed at bringing 120,000,000 children worldwide back to school.

The Fund supports its many diverse programs through corporate business partnerships, licensing, events, co-ventures with other foundations or institutions and public support.

Audrey never, it seems to me, strove or hoped to leave a lasting legacy with her films. Certainly she was tickled by the fact that so many of them had become as popular as they did.

What I feel she would have wanted, had she been given more time, would have been to continue her efforts on behalf of children - because she knew it is a never-ending task with much still to be accomplished. If there is anything she would have wished for it is that her work be continued.

Audrey's innate sense of modesty kept her from ever becoming fully aware of the impact she had - through her work with UNICEF - in raising awareness of the plight of children.

Given the immense love and tenderness she felt for her own children - the knowledge of having inspired them to continue her work would have been her greatest reward.

我说你是人间的四月天；

你是四月早天里的云烟，
黄昏吹着风的软，星子在
无意中闪，细雨点洒在花前。
