UNICEF works in Mauritania and around the world to help the most vulnerable children, in particular so that they have access to quality health services, food, water and education and that they grow up protected from violence and exploitation.

Created in 1946, UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund, is mandated by world leaders to intervene to help children.

UNICEF is based on the Convention on the Rights of the Child, in which States parties have undertaken to guarantee to every child within their jurisdiction, without distinction of any kind, regardless of any consideration of race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion of the child or his or her parents or legal representatives, their national, ethnic or social origin, their financial situation, their disability, their birth or any other situation .

UNICEF has one conviction: Every child has the right to survive, thrive and reach their full potential, to build a better world. We work tirelessly, in some of the world's most inhospitable places, to reach the most at-risk and disadvantaged children. 

For every child.
