“I always wanted to contribute in making this word a better place for children.”

Atsuko Nishimoto, Education Specialist in Qamishly, UNICEF Syria. 

How did you become a UNICEF employee?

I always wanted to contribute in making this word a better place for children. I believe UNICEF is one of the few best organizations serving children in the world and as part of the UNICEF team, I would be able to bring my vision to reality. Prior to joining UNICEF, I worked in the education field in various types of organizations; international, governmental and non-governmental including UNICEF’s sister organization, Save the Children. My recent experiences focus on education in war-torn countries or in post-conflict recovery settings.
