UNICEF has a long history of support from its Ambassadors and high profile supporters, starting with Danny Kaye in the 1950s. They play a vital role in promoting UNICEF and advocating and fundraising on our behalf.
UNICEF’s high profile supporters are in a position to focus the world’s attention on children whose rights are being denied. They help us to reach a wider audience, enabling us to further highlight the work we undertake to protect the rights of children around the world.
All of our Ambassadors have been appointed because they have already demonstrated a commitment to UNICEF’s work. They dedicate time and energy to UNICEF in a variety of ways: visiting projects in the field and emergency situations, speaking to the media about what they have seen, or lobbying and raising money on our behalf.
