Where we work

UNICEF is active in over 190 countries and territories around the world.

Here in New Zealand, our priority areas are the Pacific Region and Southeast Asia. We also respond to individual appeals for any country in desperate need of assistance due to conflict or natural disaster.

We also offer support to various specific projects in other areas – for example in the Solomon Islands, we are rebuilding and repairing 46 schools.

UNICEF NZ currently supports projects in the following countries:

 
 
UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Hayley Westenra comforts seven-year-old Ruhaina, who is being treated for a guinea-worm infection.

Ghana

UNICEF NZ is improving kindergarten education in Ghana. We have also given girls bikes to travel to school safely, and provided safe water to schools. Read more.
 
 
A young boy watches an aid worker fill a large pot with safe water provided by UNICEF after the 2009 Samoa tsunami.

Pacific Islands

UNICEF NZ is placing a mobile desalination unit in the Pacific region. This will enable us to respond quickly to environmental emergencies and provide safe drinking water to children and communities affected. Read more.
 
 
Khammany is 11 years old. She used to carry heavy buckets of water home from a dirty stream thirty minutes away. Her village now has a UNICEF-supported safe water supply.

Laos

UNICEF NZ is enhancing girls' education in Laos. We are providing safe water and toilets to communities and schools, and promoting good hygiene practices. Read more.
