UNICEF in action

How will our society fare when it's judged by its treatment of the world's children?

Every child deserves the chance to go to school. But more than 30 years of sustained conflict have devastated Afghanistan's education system.

Diwali is almost here, and soon families in India and around the world will come together to reflect upon the many gifts life has to offer.

Devoted teachers are giving their all to ensure that Afghanistan's next generation of girls get an education and reach their full potential.

UNICEF is helping dedicated teachers make sure their students get an education in Venezuela, where daily life is more difficult than ever.

No one should be afraid to go to school. Yet for far too many students around the world, school is a dangerous place.

The son of Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF founders Clyde and Mary Emma Allison tells how the legendary campaign was born, and how it lives on.

UNICEF's global campaign, Every Child ALIVE, calls on world leaders, health care workers, communities and families to come together to provide affordable, accessible and quality health care for every mother and baby, starting with the most vulnerable.

UNICEF has directly supported more than 1 million children with vital services — and will continue to help as long as the need remains.
