UNICEF Uganda - Keeping Children Alive, Safe and Learning

For nearly 6 decades UNICEF in Uganda is saving children’s lives, defending their rights, keeping them safe from harm and helps them fulfill their potential. We believe that nurturing and caring for children are the cornerstones of human progress. UNICEF was created with this purpose in mind - to work with others to overcome the obstacles

that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child's path. UNICEF upholds the Convention of the Rights of the Child. We work to assure equality for those who are discriminated against, girls and women in particular. We work for the Sustainable Development Goals and for the progress promised in the United Nations Charter. We strive for peace and security, and work to hold everyone accountable to the promises made for children. Before, during and after humanitarian emergencies, UNICEF is on the ground, bringing lifesaving help and hope to children and families. Non-political and impartial, we are never neutral when it comes to defending children’s rights and safeguarding their lives and futures. And we never give up. It is within Uganda’s reach to save lives and improve the futures of millions of children a year. We must not wait until tomorrow: the time for us to accelerate progress is now.
