 UNICEF
Unicef is the world’s leading organisation working for children and their rights. They
work with families, local communities, partners and governments in more than 190
countries. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child guides all their work.

Unicef ensures more of the world’s children are fed, vaccinated, educated and
protected than any other organisation.

“We have done more to influence laws, policies and customs to help protect
children than anyone else in history. We get things done. And we’re not going to
stop until the world is a safe place for all our children. We receive no funding from
the UN budget. Most of our money comes from people, companies and other
organisations. Child Rights Partners brings together Unicef UK and local government
to put children’s rights at the heart of public services in the UK.”
