UNICEF is the United Nations Children's Fund, founded in 1946 to respond to children's needs in the aftermath of World War II.

Today, UNICEF works with partners in 191 countries to attain sustainable human development for all, and to overcome the poverty, violence, disease, discrimination and exploitation that affect many of the world's children.

UNICEF is guided by the Convention on the Rights of the Child – the most endorsed human rights treaty in the world – and strives to establish children's rights as enduring ethical principles and international standards.

UNICEF believes that nurturing children to ensure their full development is the cornerstone of human progress – and that achieving this requires the involvement and support of everyone.
