2. UNICEF
UNICEF promotes the rights and well being of every child. Together with its partners, it works in 190 countries and territories to translate that commitment into practical action, focusing special effort on reaching the most vulnerable and excluded children, to the benefit of all children, everywhere.
In its work, UNICEF takes a life-cycle based approach, recognizing the particular importance of early childhood development and adolescence. It focuses on the most disadvantaged children, including those living in fragile contexts, with disabilities, who are affected by rapid urbanization and those affected by environmental degradation.
UNICEF was created to work with others to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child’s path. They advocate for measures to give children the best start in life. Therefore, they promote girls’ education – ensuring that they complete primary education as a minimum. UNICEF acts so, that all children are immunized against common childhood diseases and are well nourished and that no child should suffer or die from a illness that would have been preventable. Furthermore, they also work to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS among the young people. That is why, UNICEF helps children and families affected by HIV/AIDS to live their lives with dignity.
