UNICEF USA advances the global mission of UNICEF by rallying the American public to support the world’s most vulnerable children.We know that sustainable change is attainable, but it can’t be achieved alone.

Big problems need big solutions, and we harness our collective, global voice and energy to do more good, in more places for children.
