UNICEF works in 190 countries and territories to protect the rights of every child. UNICEF has spent 70 years working to improve the lives of children and their families. Defending children's rights throughout their lives requires a global presence, aiming to produce results and understand their effects. UNICEF is one of the world's largest humanitarian organizations! Mandated by the United States General Assembly, we advocate for the protection of children rights and to help meet their basic needs. UNICEF also mobilizes political will and material resources to help countries, particularly developing countries and ensure a "first call for children" and to build their capacity to form appropriate policies and deliver services for children and their families. " All children have a right to survive, thrive and fulfill their
potential – to the benefit of a better world." |
