UNICEF
UNICEF began working to help children around the world when it was created by the United Nations in 1946. UNICEF strives to protect children's rights and help children who are victims of war, poverty, disasters, and exploitation. UNICEF's focus areas include child survival and development, child protection, education and gender equality, and HIV/AIDS prevention. UNICEF is active in more than 190 countries and has offices in about 125. UNICEF budget comes from governments and individual contributions and from the sale of products such as greeting cards. UNICEF is the driving force that helps build a world where the rights of every child are realized. We have the global authority to influence decision-makers, and the variety of partners at grassroots level to turn the most innovative ideas into reality.
