UNICEF - United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund emerged from the urgent need to provide emergency food and healthcare to children and mothers in nations ravaged by the aftermath of World War II. Every year on 11th December, the world comes together to celebrate the foundation day of UNICEF. It was established in the year 1946 viewing the aftermath of World War. UNICEF has played a crucial role in advocating for children’s rights and providing healthcare, education and protection. It began to improve the lives of innocent children.
Its mission grew over time, and it is now a global organisation dedicated to promoting the rights and well-being of all children, regardless of race, religion, or nationality. The organisation works hard in over 190 countries and territories to address the most critical issues impacting children. The theme of UNICEF's World Children's Day in 2023 will be "For every child, every right." This yearly event serves as UNICEF's dedicated day of action for and by children. The fundamental goal of World Children's Day is to raise awareness about children's rights and to improve their general well-being.
As the year 2023 approaches, UNICEF recognises the halfway point of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This achievement demonstrates the organisation's commitment to creating long-term and beneficial outcomes for children. UNICEF's efforts go beyond emergency aid to include a comprehensive education, health, and overall child development approach.
UNICEF’s impactful work has been in healthcare, education, protection, and emergency responses. UNICEF works within the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs are a series of 17 interrelated goals approved in 2015 by all United Nations Member States to solve global concerns and promote people's and the planet's well-being by 2030. Here are some of the key SDGs that UNICEF contributes to, SDG 3 - Good Health and Well-being, SDG 4 - Quality Education, SDG 5 - Gender Equality, SDG 16 - Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions and SDG 17 - Partnerships for the Goals.
UNICEF's commitment is unshakeable, and as we move forward, we must renew our commitment to creating a world in which every child may thrive. As an individual, you can contribute by supporting through donations and volunteering, raising awareness about children’s rights, and educating yourself and the people surrounding you.
