WHAT IS UNICEF?
The United Nations Children's Fund began after World War II, supplying nutrition, medicine, immunization, and other urgent assistance to starving and ill children in Europe, the Middle East, and China. Today, UNICEF works in over 190 countries and territories to save children's lives, defend their rights, and help them fulfill their potential, from early childhood through adolescence.
