--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


WHAT IS UNICEF?

UNICEF is the world’s farthest-reaching humanitarian organization for children.
Across 190 countries and territories, and in the world’s toughest places, we
work day in and day out to help children survive. To defend their rights. To
keep them protected, healthy and educated. To give them a fair chance to fulfil
their potential.

Our work for every child relies entirely on voluntary support, including
donations from generous Canadians like you.

UNICEF Canada was founded in 1955, and is one of 34 National Committees located
in countries around the world. Our team exists to fundraise for UNICEF’s highest
priorities, and to work neutrally with governments and the private sector in
Canada and internationally to advance the rights and well-being of children and
youth. We are committed to racial justice and a more equitable world for every
child. Learn more about UNICEF Canada’s commitment to racial justice and
inclusion.


UNICEF’S MISSION

Our mission is to mobilize and empower Canadians to invest in the positive
transformation of every child’s future.

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’s 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.

To learn more about our work from 2022 -2025, see our Strategic Plan.


WHAT DOES THE NAME ‘UNICEF’ STAND FOR?

UNICEF is the short form of “United Nations Children’s Fund.”

UNICEF was the world’s first international organization for children,
established by the United Nations General Assembly on December 11, 1946. Until
1953, our name was an acronym for “United Nations International Children’s
Emergency Fund”, because UNICEF’s very first mandate was to meet the urgent
needs of children after World War II. 

In 1953, UNICEF became a permanent part of the UN family of organizations,
broadening its mandate to address the long-term needs of children around the
world. Although the words “International” and “Emergency” were no longer in our
official name, ‘UNICEF’ was retained as an acronym.

Our mission has always been for children first – regardless of race, religion or
politics – and has always relied on voluntary contributions.




DID YOU KNOW

UNICEF is the only organization listed in the Convention on the Rights of the
Child as the global leader for children.


UNICEF IN THE FIELD

Most UNICEF staff work in the field, across 190 countries and territories. Field
staff deliver life-saving supplies and medical care. They feed, comfort and
educate children – even in dangerous conflict zones. They are the heart and soul
of UNICEF, ensuring your generosity makes a life-changing difference, and that
the Plumpy’Nut® or vaccine packs you donated will reach the children who need
them most.

A UNICEF nutrition officer assesses 7-month-old Umara at a UNICEF-supported
health clinic in Borno State, northeast Nigeria.

Our reach would not be possible without donor support. A gift to UNICEF means
your compassion will go the farthest for children in need.


YOUR DONATIONS CHANGE LIVES EVERY DAY

UNICEF is funded entirely by voluntary contributions, including donations from
generous Canadians like you. Because of you, we are able to reach and help
millions of children around the world.

You help us to:

 * Rapidly respond to humanitarian emergencies
 * Provide children with life-saving vaccines
 * Educate girls so they can fulfil their potential
 * Support children who are living as refugees
