How To Make A Difference: The State of the World’s Children
I recommend downloading and reading UNICEF’s The State of the World’s Children 2016 free report. Throughout the world, “millions of children are denied their rights and deprived of what they need to grow up healthy and strong – because of their place of birth; because of their race, ethnicity or gender; or because they have a disability or live in poverty.” If the world does not do something to help today, by 2030, 167 million children will live in extreme poverty, 69 million children under age 5 will die, and 60 million children of primary school age will not be in school. “The lives and futures of millions of children are in jeopardy. We have a choice: Invest in the most excluded children now or risk a more divided and unfair world.”
