UNICEF means the United Nations Children’s Fund. It serves children all over the world. UNICEF was created in 1946 to help bring food and medicine to children who suffered during World War II in Europe. It began as a temporary agency, but became a permanent part of the United Nations in 1953 due to the need for its services around the world. UNICEF’s primary concern is to help governments of developing countries improve the quality of life for almost one billion children. UNICEF’s main office is in the United Nations offices in New York City, but it also has more than 40 offices and 100 programs worldwide. In 1965, UNICEF won the Nobel Peace Prize for its work helping children and building brighter futures.
