Ukraine: a life-time of war
For the youngest children in Ukraine, their entire lives have been marred by bombardment and violence. Throughout it all, UNICEF has been there to support them.
A global mission
UNICEF works in over 190 countries and territories, reaching children wherever they are, often in the toughest, most remote places. With hubs across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe, and the Pacific, UNICEF supports governments and communities to ensure every child has access to health care, clean water, education, and protection.
Whether we are working with communities in remote Pacific Islands to promote access to education, or collaborating with European governments to promote children’s rights, we make sure young people are given the safe and secure future they are entitled to.
Our mission is to help every child, everywhere – with support from people like you, we can achieve this.
Working with Africa
By the end of this century, nearly half of the world’s children will live in Africa. At UNICEF, we see this as a chance to shape a better future for all.
International impact
UNICEF's global network enables us to deliver tailored programmes that address the unique needs of children worldwide, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to survive and thrive, regardless of where they live.
Supporting refugees globally
In 2017 a massive humanitarian crisis began in Myanmar. Hundreds of thousands of people fled to neighbouring Bangladesh. UNICEF is working in both countries to help.
Helping girls in India
In India, a study in 2014 found that 23 million girls were dropping out of school each year when they got their period. With your support, we are helping them.
