What we do

1.1 billion children – over half of the world’s children – live in this vast, diverse region.

Throughout the region, we do whatever it takes to help children survive, thrive and fulfil their potential. Especially for the most disadvantaged and those hardest to reach.

We provide and advocate for education, health and nutrition services. Protect children from violence and abuse. Bring clean water and sanitation to those in need. And keep them safe from climate change and disease. 

Before, during and after emergencies, we’re on the ground with life-saving help and hope.
