Up to Kilimanjaro in aid of UNICEF

UNICEF is an organisation that does a lot of great work all around the world. In Africa, they help children receive the support, healthcare and education they need to survive the threats of childhood poverty. They strive to protect children from violence and abuse, and from exploitation through child labour or trafficking. They are decreasing the spread and effects of AIDS through better education and medicine. They also clear the ground of landmines left over from years of war and help children who have lost their limbs to mines live a better life.

“My fundraising”, is a new section of the UNICEF UK website. It provides a easy-to-use system so you can set up your own personal fundraising web page for UNICEF, or pledge/donate to a friend’s fundraising event through their personal web page.

In October, in aid of this very deserving charity, Jacqueline McPherson, is going to attempt to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. She is looking for all the support she can get as a little money will help change peoples lives for the better. Anyone who is interested in making a donation can do so via her personal fundraising page.

UNICEF is unique within the UN family, the organization rely on donations, as it does not receive any funding from the United Nations. The money goes directly to Unicef and where it is needed most.
