United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) - Togo

Unverified non-profit organisation

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) is an international aid agency, established in the aftermath of the second world war to provide food, clothing and shelter for children affected by disease and famine. This mandate was extended indefinitely in 1953, and UNICEF now works in 191 countries worldwide. The priorities of the Fund are children’s health, education, equality and protection, with HIV/Aids, refugees, infant mortality and girls’ education as areas of particular focus. In Togo, UNICEF also works with others to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child’s path.
