As the world’s biggest children’s rights advocate, UNICEF works in the world’s toughest places to reach the most disadvantaged children and adolescents – and to protect the rights of every child, everywhere.
Before, during and after humanitarian emergencies, UNICEF is on the ground bringing lifesaving help and hope to children and their families. We educate, hydrate and vaccinate millions of children every year.
Every child can determine the future. Every child deserves a chance to be great. In fact, it’s their basic human right.
All over the world, children are still forced to grow up in appalling conditions. They’re malnourished, don’t attend school, are on the run from conflicts or emergencies and live with violence and in poverty. Access to basic health care is scarce, and their volatile situations put them at risk for child abuse and child labour.
UNICEF advocates for the rights of these children. As the world’s largest children’s rights advocate, we do more good for children, in more places, than any other organisation.
We educate, hydrate and vaccinate millions of children every year. Before, during and after humanitarian emergencies, UNICEF is on the ground bringing lifesaving help and hope to children and their families. On the frontlines and behind the scenes, we stay until every child has a secure future.
We advise governments, influence corporations and lobby world leaders to protect children and their rights. We create sustainable solutions and remove any and all obstacles.
And we never give up.
