The Aims and Objectives of UNICEF

To nurture and care for children.
To work with others to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child’s path.
To advocate for measures to give children the best start in life.
To promote girls’ education – ensuring that they complete primary education as a minimum.
To ensure that children are immunized against common childhood diseases, and are well nourished, because it is wrong for a child to suffer or die from a preventable illness.
To prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS among young people because it is right to keep them from harm and enable them to protect others.
