UNICEF stands for happy children. Day after day, we ensure that children all over the world can grow up safe and healthy, go to school and develop their full potential. For that, we need your support. Would you like your philanthropic commitment to achieve sustainable impact? UNICEF will be at your side with advice and support, in a spirit of partnership and transparency at all times.
As the United Nations Children’s Fund, UNICEF operates in more than 190 countries. Always with the same goal: to make sustainable improvements in children’s living conditions. For over 75 years now, we have supported governments in their development work and thereby created long-term structures. UNICEF is on the ground within 48 hours in emergency situations and provides vital aid for children and their families. However, UNICEF is also active in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. We work here to protect children’s rights at the national, cantonal, and municipal level.
What makes UNICEF unique?
- Local presence, global reach: Our worldwide network enables us to identify successful approaches, adapt them to local circumstances and implement them.
- Strong partnerships: The distinguishing features of our work are ongoing dialog with governments, civil society, and industry.
- Innovativeness: Our global innovation center works relentlessly on new solutions. One example is that we now use drones to deliver aid.
- Efficiency: We keep administrative costs as low as possible. That way, we can make sure of achieving the maximum possible impact with our work.
