UNICEF

This is an international organization that is involved in over 150 countries worldwide. UNICEF is well known throughout the world because of its main focus: helping children. Over 21,000 children die each day and UNICEF is trying to attack this number and make it as close to zero as possible. UNICEF's main goal is to reduce this high mortality rate by doing so they are hosting programs in order to become lifesaving for children around the world. With many of its campaigns across Africa, UNICEF is one of the many influences giving priority to children in Africa. Suffering daily from either malnutrition, dirty drinking water, or even the lack of vaccines, children, who are the future, obviously need more help than anyone else. By just providing clean drinking water, many diseases and factors can be eliminated. In addition to these specific areas of concentration, UNICEF also focuses on child abuse, from exploitation to trafficking, they give an extreme measure of protection for these children. One factor that UNICEF is trying to improve on in Africa is the problem with AIDS. They are determined to reduce the number of children born with AIDS by providing immunizations and vaccines to prevent the spreading. To my opinion, this organization, UNICEF, ranks among the top 5 charities for Africa.
