Discover how UNICEF builds a better future for every child in Somalia

UNICEF For every child

We work to save the lives of children in Somalia. To defend their rights. To keep them safe from harm. To give them a childhood in which they’re protected, healthy and educated. To give them a fair chance to fulfil their potential — so that someday, they can help build a better world.

And we never give up.
