About UNICEF

UNICEF works in 190 countries and territories to save children's lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfil their potential. And we never give up. UNICEF, for every child.

A group of children

UNICEF believes that…

All children have the right to survive, thrive and reach their full potential - to build a better world.

The mission of UNICEF

UNICEF is mandated by the United Nations General Assembly to defend the rights of children, to help meet their basic needs and to contribute to their full development.

The results of UNICEF

We work tirelessly, in some of the most inhospitable places in the world, to reach the most at-risk and disadvantaged children. Achieving results for every child is at the heart of UNICEF's mission.

Who are we?

For 70 years, UNICEF has been working to improve the lives of children and their families.

Despite considerable challenges around the world, UNICEF teams fight for children's rights to safe shelter, food, protection from disasters and conflict, and equality.

UNICEF works with leading international experts to promote effective action for children. Executive Directors lead the fight for children's rights. The people who work for UNICEF help change the world.

How we work

UNICEF works with other UN agencies to ensure that children are at the forefront of the world's agenda. UNICEF strives for a balance between in-depth research and practical solutions for children.
