Foundations are key partners for UNICEF Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Together, we implement national and international programs in 190 countries, sustainably improving the lives of children and young people. Is your foundation interested in working with UNICEF? We're happy to advise how you can achieve your foundation's goals through a partnership with UNICEF.
UNICEF is committed to helping children worldwide. Sustainable development and emergency relief lie at the heart of what we do. Our goal is simple: to help children grow up in healthy and safe environments, allowing them to fully develop their potential.
UNICEF’s core programs focus on health, nutrition, education, water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), and child protection.
Why work with UNICEF?
- Influence and sustainability: We’re in continuous exchange with governments, civil society, and the private sector. Throughout work with local partners, we ensure that programs are carried out in a sustainable manner.
- Global expertise, local presence: UNICEF is globally connected, active in 190 countries, and brings together key players at the local and regional level. 85 percent of UNICEF’s employees work in program countries.
- Years of experience and innovation: UNICEF has more than 75 years of experience in its program work for children. Continuous innovation is possible through the consistent collection of data in program countries.
- Seamless support: UNICEF provides humanitarian relief in emergency situations – before, during, and after a crisis. We coordinate our work with other UN organizations, international NPOs, and local partners.
- Efficiency: We keep our administrative costs as low as possible, allowing us to achieve the maximum possible impact with our work.
