UNICEF Ambassadors and Friends help us raise awareness of, promote, and protect the rights of children and adolescents, while sharing the work we do to support them.
As part of our mission, we work alongside National Goodwill Ambassadors and Friends, who help us transform the lives of thousands of children and adolescents in Guatemala.
Through their prominent roles in the arts, science, culture, entertainment, sports, and other fields, our Ambassadors help raise awareness of the importance of protecting children and supporting our programs.
Thanks to their support, UNICEF Guatemala can amplify its voice, reach more people, and encourage them to get involved in the cause of children.
UNICEF Guatemala Ambassadors and Friends have made a public commitment to:
Advocate for children's rights and share the organization's messages.
Mobilize and raise awareness among audiences of all ages to protect children, especially those in the most vulnerable situations.
Take part in various advocacy, behavior change, and fundraising campaigns organized by UNICEF.
UNICEF also works with organizations, foundations, and other prominent individuals who, as Friends of our work, help raise awareness of the rights of children and adolescents and support us by sharing related messages.
On February 28, 2020, Gaby Moreno, the renowned Guatemalan singer-songwriter and guitarist, was appointed UNICEF Guatemala Goodwill Ambassador, becoming the organization's first national ambassador. In this role, she takes on a key part in promoting the rights of children and adolescents throughout the country.
“The most precious thing about Guatemala is its people, especially its children. That is why it is an honor for me to join UNICEF Guatemala and its partners in raising my voice to support the most disadvantaged, and to promote and defend the rights of all girls and boys, everywhere and always”.
As a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, Gaby Moreno joins a long and distinguished list of prominent figures around the world whose commitment to children's rights has led them to join forces with UNICEF. This includes actor Danny Kaye in 1954, followed by Audrey Hepburn, Peter Ustinov, Nana Mouskouri, and Roger Moore, who visited Guatemala during their time as ambassadors, as well as current ambassadors such as Shakira, David Beckham, Liam Neeson, and Orlando Bloom, among others.
Celebrities associated with UNICEF come from different fields and have different personal stories, but they all share a common commitment to improving the lives of children around the world.
