About
UNICEF is the world’s farthest-reaching organization for children, working in over 190 countries and territories to protect the rights and futures of every child.
For nearly 80 years, and supported entirely by voluntary contributions, UNICEF has delivered life-saving assistance and long-term solutions in the world’s most complex situations.
With the support of donors from across Canada, UNICEF helps provide children with healthcare and vaccines, education, nutrition, safe water and sanitation, and protection from harm.
Together, we are creating a better world for every child, and we will not stop until every child has the opportunity to survive and thrive.
Our Impact
From conflicts and crises to climate change, children face more challenges that threaten their survival than ever before. But there is hope. With the support of generous donors UNICEF continues to deliver results for children around the world including:
- Vaccinating almost half of the world’s children under five every year;
- Procuring almost 80 percent of the world’s supply of ready-to-use therapeutic food, a nutrient- and protein-rich, life-saving product for children with severe acute malnutrition;
- Delivering life-saving supplies within 72 hours at the onset of an emergency from a network of supply hubs around the world.
UNICEF is there for children before, during and long after emergencies strike. Together, we are tackling the greatest challenges facing children today and tomorrow, helping them to survive and have a brighter future.
