About Unicef:
UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save
their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for
everyone
And we never give up.
For every child…. Inspiration
In the 1970s UNICEF established presence in Yemen to respond to the urgent needs of children in the poorest
country in the Middle East. In 1991, Yemen ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child and it was enacted
immediately. Since then the country has been making steady progress for children until it plunged into a brutal
conflict in 2015 but even before that, Yemen needed large amounts of humanitarian assistance.
In collaboration with local authorities, non-governmental organizations and community partners, UNICEF is working
in all the governorates in Yemen to respond to the needs of children throughout the country with a continuum of
services to help children survive and grow to their full potential through the following
programmes: Health, Nutrition, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, Basic Education, and Child protection.
