Children around the world are having their rights denied every day. UNICEF is working in 193 countries to protect these rights, making sure children's voices are heard and listened to.
UNICEF IS FUNDED ENTIRELY BY VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS. WE RECEIVE NO FUNDING FROM THE UN BUDGET.


Charles's Story
Charles, only thirteen years old, has had to grow up very quickly.
Last year, his mother discovered that she had HIV. She was pregnant with Charles’s baby sister, Kaseo, at the time. Shortly after she had the baby, Charles’s mother caught TB. Her body was unable to fight the infection and she died.
