UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

For every child, a chance

The United Nations General Assembly mandates UNICEF to advocate for protecting children's rights, help meet their basic needs, and expand their opportunities to reach their full potential. Across 190 countries and territories, UNICEF works for every child daily to build a better world.

UNICEF is committed to transparency and accountability and has been pursuing a series of measures to report in the public domain on progress towards development, humanitarian results, and expenditures. Great help in this regard, providing the country office website www.unicef.by that allows reaching communities, partners, and donors across Belarus and beyond.

While the current UNICEF in Belarus website www.unicef.by was well received and served for many years, there are increasing demands for a more technologically sufficient and up-to-date platform with greater functionality. The current portal falls short in some key technical and design aspects restricting the office's communication, advocacy, and fundraising goals. There is a need to relocate to a new platform with extended functionality and allow it to be fully integrated into global UNICEF's external-facing website unicef.org (CMS Drupal).

How can you make a difference?
