Who are you and what is your mission? TeachUNICEF is a portfolio of free global education resources. Resources cover grades PreK-12, are interdisciplinary and align with standards. The lesson plans, stories and multimedia cover topics ranging from the Millennium Development Goals to water and sanitation. Our mission is to support and create well-informed global citizens who understand interconnected-ness, respect and value diversity, have the ability to challenge injustice and inequities and take action in personally meaningful ways. We hope that in providing engaging and academically rich materials that offer multiple voices, we can encourage the exploration of critical global issues while presenting opportunities to take action. What is UNICEF?

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) works in more than 190 countries and territories to save and improve children’s lives, providing health care and immunizations, clean water and sanitation, nutrition, education, emergency relief and more. The U.S. Fund for UNICEF supports UNICEF’s work through fundraising, advocacy, and education in the United States. Together, we are working toward the day when zero children die from preventable causes and every child has a safe and healthy childhood.
