UNICEF works to save the lives of children in Guatemala. To defend and ensure that their rights are respected. To help them reach their full potential, especially those who are most vulnerable and marginalized.

We work to ensure that children are healthy, immunized, receive adequate nutrition, care and early stimulation from early childhood.

For adolescents to have health, educational, participation and entrepreneurial opportunities.

We work to make sure that all children are protected against all types of violence.

And we are also prepared to provide comprehensive care in the event of any emergency, everywhere and always.
