UNICEF puts children and adolescents first. Whoever they are. Wherever they live.
About us
We believe that all children, whatever their circumstances, have the right to thrive, fulfil their potential, be treated with dignity and participate in society. Since 1952, UNICEF has been working with partners to bring services and opportunities to Cambodia, services such as education, health, nutrition, protection, water, sanitation and hygiene, civic engagement and to make sure those services reach those most in need, including during emergencies. UNICEF promotes the rights and well-being of every child in everything it does. Together with our partners, we work to translate this commitment into practical action, with a dedicated effort to reach the most vulnerable and excluded girls and boys in urban and rural poor areas of Cambodia. We focus on equity, so our achievements benefit all children. We work with and for young people to make their voices heard, and we work with partners–from the community to national level–to create solutions that propel children and young people into the future. We advocate to give children the best start in life, because proper care at the youngest age forms the strongest foundation for a person’s and society’s future. UNICEF was one the first organizations to return to Cambodia after the fall of the Khmer Rouge regime in 1979, leading the emergency response efforts. As such, we play a unique role in promoting a system where the country’s children can thrive, building on its strong cooperation with communities, civil society and the government. We have over 65 years of expertise in the country, a network that spans the globe, a passion for innovation, dynamic partnerships and a commitment to realizing the rights of every child. Our work is impartial and non-political. We work in Cambodia to give children an environment in which they are protected, healthy and educated, so that they can build a better life for themselves and their country.

🌟 🙏 We are grateful to UNICEF France and the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation for their support to UNICEF Cambodia in preventing child drownings. 🌊 In Cambodia, drowning is one of the leading causes of death for children aged 9-19. Tragically, Cambodia ranks 12th in the world for the highest drowning death rates among children and adolescents. 😢 Thanks to our partners, UNICEF will continue to assist authorities and communities in implementing essential drowning prevention measures, particularly in high-risk areas. 🛟 Ann Avril #WorldDrowningDay 🌍
✨ En ce mois de juillet, à l’approche de la Journée mondiale de prévention de la noyade, je suis particulièrement heureuse d’annoncer la signature d’un partenariat de 3 ans entre l'UNICEF France et la Fondation Princesse Charlène de Monaco. Dans le monde, les enfants paient encore un trop lourd tribut face au risque de noyades, avec plus de 96 000 décès chaque année. Le Cambodge figure parmi les pays les plus touchés par ces drames. 🤝 C’est pourquoi, nous avons décidé de nous engager dans un partenariat de long terme avec la Fondation Princesse Charlène de Monaco qui, depuis 2012, œuvre en faveur de la prévention des risques de noyades, mais aussi pour sensibiliser et éduquer les enfants aux valeurs du sport. 🙏 🌊 Grâce au soutien inestimable de la Fondation, nous allons poursuivre nos efforts pour protéger chaque enfant en mettant en place : • Des cours de natation pour plus de 2 000 enfants • Des cours de secourisme pour plus de 12 000 adultes, adolescents et enfants L’expertise de l’UNICEF en termes de protection de l’enfance continuera d’être au service des autorités cambodgiennes afin de mettre en place toutes les mesures nécessaires de prévention contre les risques de noyades, en particulier dans les zones à haut risque. Un immense et chaleureux merci aux équipes de la Fondation Princesse Charlène de Monaco pour leur engagement à nos côtés 💙 #PourChaqueEnfant Plus d'infos 👉 https://lnkd.in/dj9ZPnam Sce Environnement X ARCHIMBAULT @Pascal Granero Marie-Charlotte BRUN Ilona REKEIBI © Éric Mathon – Palais Princier
