Making a difference

There are many charities that are working hard to help people in need around the world. UNICEF is one of them.

The United Nations introduced UNICEF in 1946 and it has protected the rights of children ever since. UNICEF is short for the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund and its purpose is to provide support to children around the world. The organisation works in over 190 countries. In the beginning, this charity worked to improve the lives of poor children after World War II. Today, UNICEF works to make sure children everywhere have basic rights, such as food, shelter, healthcare and education. The organisation also provides emergency support by helping people in disaster areas. UNICEF receives support from governments and private givers.

Many famous people have helped out by becoming celebrity ambassadors to UNICEF. They use their talent and fame to educate the public on the problems faced by children worldwide. Recently, the charity has provided clean water to millions of people. It has also given millions of children access to education and helped them get enough to eat. In the battle against Covid-19, UNICEF has helped in many countries around the world by delivering protective equipment, vaccines and medical training. Through its programmes, UNICEF is making a difference in improving the lives of children everywhere.
