Think of the less fortunate children

Millions of children around the world, especially in developing countries, live in poverty and lack education opportunities.

Unicef (the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund) is concerned with the survival, protection, education and development of children.

In many poor families, the children go to work, not to school.

These children, especially the girls, are exposed to all kinds of dangers when they go out into the world.

Child slavery or child trafficking and the sexual abuse of children are very serious problems in such countries.

Also, the girls are often married off at a very early age.
