UNICEF FOUNDATION DAY 2024: DATE AND HISTORY

On December 11, 1946, the United Nations General Assembly and Ludwik Rajchman
established UNICEF to address the needs of children in World War II-affected
nations and give emergency aid to war-affected children and mothers.



UNICEF’s mandate was extended in 1950 to address the long-term needs of children
and women in developing nations after it was initially focused on providing food
and healthcare in postwar Europe and China.

In 1953, it became a permanent member of the United Nations system, maintaining
its purpose to fight for the protection of children’s rights, assist in
fulfilling their basic needs, and extend their opportunity to attain their full
potential.


UNICEF FOUNDATION DAY 2024: SIGNIFICANCE

UNICEF Foundation Day is intended as a reminder of the organisation’s consistent
dedication to children’s well-being, in addition to emphasising UNICEF’s work to
promote child health, nutrition, education, and protection from exploitation and
violence.

The day also stresses the significance of worldwide collaboration in tackling
children’s difficulties, campaigning for equal chances, and ensuring
impoverished children have access to important services.
