About us
We work relentlessly to save children’s lives, defend their rights and help them fulfil their potential. And we never give up.
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 fulfil 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.

UNICEF has been working in Somalia since 1972 when its first office opened in Mogadishu. Today we have over 300 staff working in Mogadishu, Baidoa, Dollow, Garowe, Hargeisa and Nairobi, Kenya.
Together with 200 international and national NGOs and community-based organizations, UNICEF delivers services in Health, Nutrition, WASH, Education and Child Protection, and responds to emergencies and supports peace-building and development.
