MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Since its founding in 1947, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has built an unprecedented global support system for the world’s children. Through its many programs and partnerships in health care and immunization, safe water and sanitation, nutrition, education, emergency relief and other critical areas, UNICEF delivers the essentials needed to give children an equitable chance in life. UNICEF USA shares UNICEF’s vision of a world that upholds the rights of all children and helps every child thrive, and works to advance UNICEF’s mission through fundraising, advocacy and education in the United States. Together, we have helped meaningfully improve more children’s lives than any other humanitarian organization.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) works in more than 190 countries and territories to put children first. By providing access to health care, nutrition, clean water, education, protection and more, UNICEF empowers every child to have a brighter future. UNICEF USA supports UNICEF's work through fundraising, advocacy and education in the United States. Together, we are working toward the day when no children die from preventable causes, and every child has a safe and healthy childhood.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

UNICEF focuses on meeting immediate needs of vulnerable children while also supporting the development of long-term, sustainable solutions to issues that impact their lives and futures, such as water scarcity, food insecurity and the effects of climate change. UNICEF workers brave war zones, treacherous terrain, disasters and disease to reach children in need, partnering with governments, the private sector, non-governmental organizations, civil society groups and other UN agencies to engage communities and maximize impact. − Innovation has always been at the heart of UNICEF's ability to achieve results for children, from negotiating drug prices to establishing new delivery methods to utilizing new technologies. UNICEF's vast network means it can take successful approaches from one place and adapt them to meet challenges elsewhere, helping drive results for children on a global scale. − In all UNICEF does, it works to engage and empower young people to have a voice in the decisions that affect their lives and support their peers. In the United States, UNICEF USA has a long history of instilling global citizenship in students. Over a million kids participate in Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF and other UNICEF USA initiatives every year. -UNICEF USA is one of 33 National Committees, independent non-governmental organization that serves as the public face and dedicated voice of UNICEF in their respective countries. Each National Committee works to raise funds from the private sector, promote children’s rights and secure worldwide visibility for children threatened by poverty, disasters, armed conflict abuse and exploitation. In 2020, UNICEF USA contributed $286 million in cash and in-kind support to UNICEF. − UNICEF USA invites all Americans to join us. Whether it's by giving time or money, through education, awareness-raising or advocacy, everyone has something to contribute to make this world a better place for all children.
