UNICEF works day in and day out, in some of the world’s toughest places, to protect children’s rights and safeguard their futures. On the ground in over 190 countries and territories, we reach more children and young people than any other international organization. But we can’t do it alone.

UNICEF unites with the public sector, private sector and civil society to improve children’s health, nutrition, education and protection. Our individual supporters help by donating, volunteering or being advocates for children and young people in their communities.
