About the Event

In Support of UNICEF

UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund, works around the world to uphold the rights of every child, with a special focus on reaching the most disadvantaged and those in the hardest-to-reach places. In over 190 countries and territories, UNICEF does whatever it takes to help children survive, thrive, and reach their full potential.

Before, during, and after emergencies, UNICEF is on the ground, providing lifesaving assistance and hope to children and their families. We are impartial, apolitical, and neutral, and our mission is always to protect every child.

In Austria, UNICEF is represented by the Austrian Committee for UNICEF. Since 1962, UNICEF Austria has been committed to advocating for children both internationally and within Austria.

UNICEF's work is entirely funded by voluntary contributions.
