Every day in the life of a child is important — and every day is an opportunity to pursue relentless action that brings the world closer to a future where every child is healthy and happy. With more than 75 years of expertise, across 190 countries, UNICEF works to protect children’s rights, help meet their basic needs, and expand their opportunities to reach their full potential.
Every day, children all over the world trust UNICEF to be there for them. Families trust UNICEF to help ensure their children are nourished, healthy, safe, and educated. Communities trust UNICEF to amplify their voice. Governments trust UNICEF to provide advice and support in shaping policies that affect millions. Partners and donors trust UNICEF to transform funding into effective action for children. UNICEF treasures this trust, and it is this trust that allows UNICEF to deliver lasting change for children.
In 2023, among other results, UNICEF and partners reached more than 23 million people with safe drinking water, vaccinated over 27 million children against measles, and provided more than 150 million children with services for the early detection and treatment of child wasting (severe acute malnutrition) in high-risk settings.
In 2024, UNICEF is continuing to work around the clock for children and their families across the world. Every dollar adds up to big impact:
• $1.25 can provide can provide 50 MUAC bands (tools for the early detection of malnutrition in children 6-59 months)
• $5 can provide 20 doses of the polio vaccine, or safe water to one child for 1 year
• $13 could purchase 1 pack of 10 exercise books
• $16 could provide a family with a small tent to act as a temporary shelter
• $50 could purchase 1 emergency first aid kit (or 20 cholera testing kits)
On behalf of children and families across the globe, thank you for your support.
