Meena is a loveable cartoon character conceived and created by UNICEF.  Little Meena is a bundle of fun and enthusiasm. She is an intelligent and smart young girl whose stories primarily illustrate issues relating to children, and are told in an entertaining and humorous fashion. The stories enable children to enhance their self-esteem and self-worth and familiarise themselves with life skills essential for their empowerment.
