ACHIEVEMENTS 2009 We committed £50 million to programmes for children worldwide. We raised £3.2 million for our Unite for Children, Unite against AIDS campaign. In addition, we launched Live free from HIV, focusing on preventing the spread of HIV among young people. We expanded International Inspiration, the international social legacy of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, to Bangladesh, Jordan, Malaysia, Mozambique, South Africa, and Trinidad and Tobago. Programmes continued in Azerbaijan, Brazil, India, Mozambique, Palau, and Zambia. We agreed with Ghana, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan and Turkey to start work in 2010. We refocused our work on realising child rights at home and abroad, leading to the launch of the Put it Right initiative in early 2010. We also launched a pilot of our Child Friendly Communities programme, aimed at realising and embedding child rights at local level throughout the UK. We continued to highlight the impact of climate change on children, taking part in the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit. We enabled four young people from the UK to join children from 45 other nations at the UNICEF-organised Children’s Climate Change Forum. The Forum presented a global declaration to world leaders at the main Summit. We developed Carbon Positive, a groundbreaking scheme that raises funds to help children in poorer nations adapt to their changing climate.
UNICEF is the world’s leading organisation working for children and their rights. UNICEF works with families, local communities, partners and governments in more than 190 countries to help every child realise their full potential. UNICEF UK raises funds for UNICEF’s emergency and development work around the world and advocates for lasting change for children worldwide. This includes, for example, working to change government policies and practices that are detrimental to child rights in the UK and internationally. Two boys sit on UNBICEF school kits at a home for tsunami-affected children in Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu, south India. The facility provides care, shelter and basic education for more than 50 orphans and other vulnerable children. Tamil Nadu was one of the areas worst affected by the devastating tsunami in 2004. Five years on, UNICEF continues to protect children, and help rebuild health services, schools, water and sanitation systems.
