UNICEF Australia

UNICEF's work is guided by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, a universally agreed set of standards which sets out the right of every child to reach their full potential. UNICEF works with many partners to overcome poverty, abuse and disease and to build a world fit for all children.

UNICEF is on the ground in over 150 countries and territories to help children survive and thrive, from early childhood through adolescence. UNICEF works in emergency relief and on longer term development projects for children. The world’s largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and HIV/AIDS.

UNICEF's work is focused on benefiting children around the world, but many of the improvements made for children ultimately improve the lives of others in their families and communities.

UNICEF's work falls into five priority areas: Child survival and development Child education and gender equality HIV/AIDS Child protection Policy, advocacy and partnerships
