UNICEF was created in 1946 by the United Nations to provide humanitarian aid to children. Over the decades, UNICEF has expanded its mission from focusing on child health to also addressing education, sanitation, and children's rights. Some of UNICEF's key impacts include helping reduce diseases through vaccination campaigns, improving lives through low-cost health interventions like oral rehydration therapy, and advocating on behalf of children affected by issues like HIV/AIDS. UNICEF continues its work with support from the UN and donations from governments and individuals worldwide.

3. History
-UNICEF is created in December 1946 by the United Nations to provide food,
clothing and health care to children.
-UNICEF begins a successful global campaign against yaws, a disfiguring
disease affecting millions of children, and one that can be cured with penicillin.
-Following more than a decade of focus on child health issues, UNICEF
expands its interests to address the needs of the whole child. Thus begins an
abiding concern with education, starting with support to teacher training and
classroom equipment in newly independent countries.
-people and organizations reaffirm their commitment to children’s rights
-NICEF launches a drive to save the lives of millions of children each year.
The ‘revolution’ is based on four simple, low-cost techniques: growth
monitoring, oral rehydration therapy, breastfeeding and immunization
-The Say Yes for Children campaign builds on this momentum, with millions of
children and adults around the world pledging their support for critical actions
to improve children’s lives

4. Impact of venture
 Improve lives of children suffering from diseases
 Produced by UNICEF, UNAIDS and WHO, the report
notes promising developments - increasing numbers of
children receiving treatment, declining HIV prevalence
among young people resulting from behavioural
change, and the integration of children and AIDS into
national policy frameworks. Yet it also highlights the
huge gaps in progress that remain and seeks to
explore how the campaign must move forward in 2007
in order to achieve its ambitious goals.
