Getting to know International Organizations
I chose to UNICEF organization. this organization provides emergency food and healthcare to children and mothers in countries, that have been devastated by World War 2. It was created by the United Nations General Assembly December 11,1946.
Child's Poverty
The article that UNICEF presents about child's poverty, has opened my eyes. We have to help out our youth. Understanding that adult poverty doesn't have to last but a child's poverty can last a life time. Child poverty not only affects a child individually but is likely to passed onto future generations in society. UNICEF is working on how and why so much children are experiencing poverty. Global study on child's poverty and disparities, was launched by the UNICEF in 2007. They supported over 50 countries and analyzed their nutrition, health, and education. Assessments to figure out what they need to do for reduction has been a major role to help out. I think that the government, of these countries also need to figure out ways to save lives instead of trying to benefit from money. They need to use the money to help reduce child's poverty. If you connect with those who make money , maybe more shelters, more food banks and schools can be of good help to society.
It's insane how long the effects of WWII have lasted in regards to poverty. I agree that youth in particular are at the greatest risk living in poverty. I wonder what we can do to help from afar to help these children and families that the UNICEF assists.
