The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), a special program of the United Nations, is 
devoted to aiding national efforts to improve the health, nutrition, education, and general welfare of 
children. 
UNICEF was created in 1946 to provide relief to children in countries devastated by World War II. 
After 1950 the fund directed its efforts toward general programs for the improvement of children’s 
welfare, particularly in less-developed countries and in various emergency situations. The 
organization’s broader mission was reflected in the name it adopted in 1953, the United Nations 
Children’s Fund. UNICEF was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1965. It is headquartered in 
New York City. 
UNICEF has concentrated much of its effort in areas in which relatively small expenditures can 
have a significant impact on the lives of the most disadvantaged children such as the prevention and 
treatment of diseases. In keeping with this strategy, UNICEF supports immunization programs for 
childhood diseases and programs to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS; it also provides funding for 
health services, educational facilities, and other welfare services. Since 1996 UNICEF programs have 
been guided by the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989), which affirms the right of all 
children to “the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health and to facilities for the 
treatment of illness and rehabilitation of health”. UNICEF’s activities are financed by both 
government and private contributions.
