Question 3

What does UNICEF do in Kyrgyzstan and in the world?

Accepted Answer

UNICEF works to advance and protect child rights and to provide health care, immunization, nutrition, access to safe water and sanitation services, education, protection and emergency relief. Today, UNICEF works in over 190 countries and territories to save and improve children’s lives.  What does UNICEF do in Kyrgyzstan and in the world?  At UNICEF, we work in some of the most difficult places to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them reach their full potential. In 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for all of them. And we never give up.  Our vision is a world fit for each and every child. Your support can help us achieve this vision and have a lasting impact on the lives of children in Kyrgyzstan around the world.  Since 1994, UNICEF has been working to improve the well-being of children and families in Kyrgyzstan. We support and strengthen national systems to ensure that every child, including children and adolescents with disabilities, survives, thrives, learns, and lives in a safe environment free from violence and poverty. Our work is guided by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), an international human rights treaty that sets out the civil, political, economic, social, health and cultural rights of children. Kyrgyzstan ratified the CRC in 1994. UNICEF’s new Country Programme for the period 2023-2027 focuses on reaching the most disadvantaged children. UNICEF works in close partnership with the Government of Kyrgyzstan to strengthen social policies and systems, while also working on the ground to ensure that these systems effectively reach all children, with a particular emphasis on the most vulnerable. This collaboration spans key areas such as child protection, education and the development of adolescents, health, nutrition, and the promotion of a climate-resilient environment. Across all these sectors, UNICEF integrates cross-cutting priorities including disability inclusion, gender equality, and the rights and needs of children with disabilities. Through this comprehensive approach, UNICEF supports the Government in building inclusive, equitable, and sustainable systems that uphold the rights and well-being of every child in Kyrgyzstan. For more information about UNICEF and its work on behalf of children, visit What we do | UNICEF Kyrgyzstan

Question 4

Why does UNICEF need my help?

Accepted Answer

UNICEF is funded entirely by voluntary contributions from individuals, businesses, and governments. Unlike other UN agencies, we don’t receive any funding from the core budget of the United Nations. This means that every donation you make helps to support our life-saving work for children worldwide.   Your support is crucial in helping us provide essential services like healthcare, nutrition, education, and protection for children in need.

Question 5

Where does my donation go?

Accepted Answer

When you donate to UNICEF, you support work that improves the lives of children and adolescents in Kyrgyzstan and around the world. Every contribution is welcome – whether it is a one-time or monthly gift. But when you sign up to become a monthly donor, your contribution has a bigger impact, and it supports UNICEF’s pooled emergency-response fund for the many countries where we work. It means that we are always ready to act when a crisis strikes anywhere around the globe.

Question 8

How will the money be used?

Accepted Answer

The money raised is used both for local initiatives in Kyrgyzstan, and for anywhere else where it is needed for children around the world. Your donation could, for example, help us to provide rapid and effective support to children affected by an earthquake in Syria or war in Ukraine.  You can find more information about UNICEF’s work in Kyrgyzstan on our webpage: What we do | UNICEF Kyrgyzstan Thanks to the sustained commitment of our donors like you, we can offer a rapid and effective response to children in Kyrgyzstan and around the world.

Question 9

Why are you asking for monthly donations?

Accepted Answer

UNICEF asks for monthly contributions to help us provide sustainable, long-term solutions to help children in Kyrgyzstan and around the world.  A monthly gift is a recurring amount you choose to send each month. It has even more impact than a one-off donation because you are helping children every day.  Your monthly gift also enables us to plan effectively for our upcoming work, reduce costs, and, most importantly, reach even more children in need. We couldn’t continue our efforts without the support and generosity of monthly donors, and we hope you’ll consider joining this part of the UNICEF family.
