UNICEF is the world’s farthest-reaching humanitarian organization for children, and we have been working in Canada for 70 years. We work tirelessly in the world’s most complex situations to bring life-saving aid and long-term support to children and their families.

Our commitment to helping every child survive and reach their potential is also our commitment to using every donor dollar effectively and efficiently.

* These are flexible funds (unrestricted) that allow UNICEF to respond quickly and effectively whenever and wherever children are most in need.

Note: Funds to UNICEF Global Headquarters from Global Affairs Canada are not included as a source of revenue.

We work with governments and a variety of stakeholders to ensure that funding decisions are data-driven, results-oriented, scalable and are supported by the communities where we work. And our ability to collaborate with governments around the world to scale up UNICEF projects means that the impact of donor dollars is multiplied many times over.
