Unicef

In late 1946, shortly after the end of WW2, The United Nations founded what would be known as the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund or UNICEF for short. Their intent was to provide alimental and medical aid to children in nations affected ravaged by armed conflict. Today, UNICEF is present in 190 countries, rescuing the world’s children from disease, famine, illiteracy and exploitation.
Malnutrition is preventable.
Thirst is preventable.
AIDS, malaria, polio, and measles are preventable.
Ignorance is preventable.
Human trafficking is preventable.
Until all of Earth’s young are properly fed, protected, hydrated, vaccinated, educated, and liberated, UNICEF will continue to endeavor on their behalf by way of direct intervention.
If you are a parent who happens to be in a comfortable station in life, hold your children tonight. Be thankful that they will have a satisfying breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Be grateful that they will have clean water to bathe in and drink. Appreciate that your little ones are immune from ailments that kill others overseas. Sleep well knowing that they will never be used as chattel, that they’ll know how to read, that they’ll have the freedom to think for themselves, that they are loved.
Understand that within the next 24 hours, over 20,000 impoverished youth in impoverished nations will die because they lack access to services you rely on without worry.
Realize that groups like UNICEF are key to eliminating the forces that destroy childhood.
And give whatever funds you can spare…
