About Unite for Children, Unite Against AIDS
UNICEF’s Unite for Children, Unite Against AIDS campaign is a global initiative that responds to the lack of attention given to the needs of children and adolescents within the context of the pandemic. In Canada, our goal is to raise funds for UNICEF’s work while fostering corporate social responsibility, encouraging increased pediatric AIDS research and development, and advocating for an elevated commitment to children within the Canadian government’s AIDS funding.
