The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) is successfully providing humanitarian and development aid to children around the world since 1946.
When it began, it was known as the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund. The programme started off as an effort to provide immediate relief from hunger to the children and mothers who belonged to the countries that were devastated by the Second World War.
The programme later expanded to provide them healthcare, and the long term needs of women and children in the developing countries.
The funding for the UNICEF comes from governments and private donations. The UNICEF relies on community-level services to promote the health and well-being of children, with special focus on field work.
