UN Works

The United Nations helps millions of people around the world in ways you never imagined. This site features the stories of men, women and children who have benefited from the UN's work.

UN Works is an innovative multimedia platform that puts a human face on the work of the UN by exploring global issues through the personal stories of people and their communities. Our goal is to give a voice to ordinary men, women and children and allow them to share their struggles and fears; hopes and aspirations with audiences around the world.

Partnerships with broadcast networks, celebrities, UN agencies, NGOs, educators, foundations and corporations explore the stories of people and their communities. Integrated content includes compelling television, an interactive website, and complementary online educational and advocacy resources.

The UN Works journeys with Angelina Jolie, Michael Douglas, Jay-Z and other celebrities as they share in the struggles and dreams of children in crisis. The UN Works enhances the classroom experience and provides online resources developed with Discovery, MTV and other networks to encourage people to share their stories, create their own content and initiate advocacy campaigns.

The UN Works. For People and the Planet.
