Emergency workers

Emergencies are caused by natural disasters or conflict. UNICEF helps children during emergencies and works to better prepare for future disasters.

Improved water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) prevents illness and disease. UNICEF works to expand WASH access for children in Asia-Pacific.

Our health and nutrition work focuses on young childhood development, including maternal and neonatal health, immunization and breastfeeding.
