For every child, care

The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programs, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children’s rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favouritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life — in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions — her or his rights are violated. UNICEF Lebanon’s Education Programme work supports the Ministry of Education and Higher Education in implementing the Transition and Resilience Education Fund (TREF), a new aid modality which was launch in 2022 to strengthen governance, transparency, efficiency and learning outcomes for children in the education sector.
