Mission Statement
UNICEF is the world’s leading humanitarian organization focused on children. With more than 75 years of experience, we work in the most challenging areas to save children’s lives, defend their rights and help them fulfil their potential, from early childhood through adolescence - while remaining non-political and impartial. UNICEF drives change for children and young people every day around the globe by providing safe, clean water, nutrition, immunizations and disease prevention; empowering children’s futures with education, disability advocacy, and combatting child trafficking and violence; and providing emergency relief for children in natural disasters and humanitarian crises. Our unrivaled reach spans more than 190 countries and territories, making us uniquely placed to deliver sustainable change for children at scale and ensuring we are on the ground helping the most disadvantaged children to survive and thrive. While part of the UN system, UNICEF relies entirely on voluntary donations to finance our live-saving development and humanitarian work.
About This Cause
UNICEF stands for every child, everywhere. We are guided by the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child, advocating for the protection of children’s rights, helping to meet their basic needs, and giving them a fair chance to reach their full potential. Undaunted by war, disaster, disease or distance, UNICEF staff work day in and day out to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children with healthcare and vaccines, nutrition, clean water and sanitation, protection, quality education, emergency relief and more. UNICEF is on the ground before, during and long after humanitarian emergencies, leading international response in water and sanitation, nutrition, education and child protection. Our global supply chain and local presence mean we can rapidly send help, even before it is needed. As part of the UN family, our ability to work neutrally with governments, the private sector and civil society generates results for children on a scale that is unparalleled. UNICEF even has the influence to pause hostilities in conflict zones – ceasefires known as ‘Days of Tranquility’ – so that children can receive medical care. Donor support helps reach 45% of the world’s children under age 5 with vaccines, and create long-term solutions that address maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health; child marriage; girls’ access to education; HIV prevention; ending violence against children; child trafficking and exploitation. When UNICEF Canada receives donations for a Benevity page that has already closed, we direct funds to support our work to help keep children safe and healthy around the world, wherever the need is greatest. When this happens, you can continue supporting our life-saving work by selecting other projects in the Benevity platform. For more information about UNICEF, please visit www.unicef.ca.
