UNICEF'S Mission for Children:
UNICEF works alongside partners, communities, and the private sector to save children’s lives, protect their rights, and support them in reaching their full potential, from early childhood through adolescence. To protect children and build community resilience amid the shocks of multiple crises, UNICEF will continue to prioritize lifesaving efforts for the most vulnerable, while ensuring that children's needs remain front-and-center.
“Eastern and Southern Africa is home to millions of children who face extraordinary challenges. Yet even in the face of adversity, we see remarkable dynamism, hope and resilience. By prioritizing action and investment, we can make a transformative change, ensuring that children have the opportunities they need to make a difference in their lives” added UNICEF Regional Director, Etleva Kadilli.
