On 11 December 1946, the United Nations General Assembly established the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) through Resolution 57(I), envisioning a world where children’s rights and welfare take precedence.

Initially formed to provide emergency assistance to children suffering the aftermath of World War II, UNICEF rapidly evolved into a beacon of hope, extending its mission to address global issues such as education, nutrition, and healthcare.

This milestone underscored the collective resolve of nations to ensure that the youngest and most vulnerable could not only survive but thrive in the face of adversity.
