UNICEF and China have a long history of collaboration. We currently collaborate on programming in many areas, include: supporting children affected by HIV and AIDS , preventing child trafficking, expansion of early childhood development services and improving school quality.
UNICEF is the United Nations Children’s Fund. We have a presence in over 190 countries and regions around the world. We promote and uphold the principle that nurturing and caring for children is the cornerstone of human progress.
We're passionate about our cause and committed to our mission: to promote the equal rights of children, and to support their full participation in the political, social and economic development of their communities.
Every child has the right to survive, develop, be protected and participate in family and society. We work by developing demonstration models and approaches in rural poor and urban marginalized communities in China. Once an approach has been shown to be effective, we support the government to replicate and expand the approach with its own budget.
UNICEF's work for children is organized in five year programmes of cooperation which are planned and implemented in cooperation with the Government of China.
Our private sector collaborations provide critical resources to support UNICEF programs that address children’s needs, and at the same time provide a platform for businesses to promote a specific child-rights focus in their socially-responsible engagement with the community.
All celebrities who put their talents to work for UNICEF share a dedicated commitment to improving the lives of children. In China, our celebrity Goodwill Ambassadors and Special Advocate are passionate about improving the lives of children in China.
Support from philanthropic people can make an impact on the lives of children in China. By exerting their influences and convening resources, the Champions for Children are playing a unique role in supporting UNICEF's programme for children in China.
