UNICEF works for children around the world

UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund, works to build a better world for every child, every day, everywhere. UNICEF provides more children with clean water, life-saving therapeutic food and vaccines, education, and protection from violence than any other humanitarian organisation.

UNICEF works with families, local communities, organisations and governments in more than 190 countries to give every child the opportunities to shape a brighter future. In everything we do, the most vulnerable children and those in greatest need have priority.

When you set up a regular donation to UNICEF UK you become part of our long-term work to create a safe and sustainable world where children can live, learn and grow. Here are some examples of how your generous donation could help children around the world:

• £5 a month could provide 1,786 water purification tablets to purify water in emergency situations.

• £14 a month could provide 20 children with life-saving measles vaccines.

• £32 a month could provide a large first aid kit for a health worker.

Our Vision

A world of protection and opportunity for children living alone and at risk on the streets.

Railway Children is an international children's charity. We fight for vulnerable children who live alone at risk on the streets, where they suffer abuse and exploitation.

In the UK, society often denies their existence, and in other countries the problem is so prevalent that it has become 'normal'.

They run away or are forced to leave homes where they suffer poverty, violence, abuse and neglect. They find themselves living on the streets because there is nowhere else to go and no one left to turn to. The problems they face on the streets are often even worse than those they endured at home. Every day we fight to change their story.

Railway Children race to reach children as soon as they arrive on the streets and intervene before an abuser can. Our pioneering work enables us to get to street children before the streets get to them.

What if I change my mind?
