UNICEF is an international aid agency that works with communities and governments in 157 countries for the survival, development and protection of children worldwide, upholding the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The priorities of the program are children’s health, education, equality and protection, with HIV/AIDS, refugees, infant mortality and girls’ education as areas of particular focus.
