UNICEF works to uphold the rights of every child in Lesotho, ensuring that they survive, thrive and reach their full potential. 

We are committed to supporting children from the earliest stages of life—starting before birth—by ensuring that mothers have access to quality neonatal care and safe delivery environments. Through our programmes, we work to ensure that every child grows up healthy, safe, and empowered with the knowledge, skills, and services they need for a brighter future. This includes access to good nutrition, clean water and sanitation, health care, quality education, and protection from all forms of violence, exploitation, and abuse.
