In this beautiful world everyday a child is dying in a few seconds. Reason? The silent killers are poverty, hunger, easily preventable diseases, illness and other related causes such as war, terrorism, corruption and climate change, global warming, kidnapping, racism and child labour which is highest in Africa.
Every day 1,400 children die by drinking polluted water. UNICEF says every second a child dies due to lack of moeny to buy medicines. In 2010, 7.6 million child deaths under 5 years happened and the vast majority occurred in South Asia and Sub Sahara (Africa).
Upto now countless innocent children died in the Syrian war and thousands drowned in the Mediterranean Sea while running away from Syria.
Instead of going to school terrorists kidnapped innocent countless children wrapped bombs on their bodies to kill thousands of people in the world. In Nigeria twice Boko Harram kidnapped more than 300 girls.
June 12th was World Day for Children. For their future for such desperate helpless children for their future for such desperate helpless children we can bring them joy, hope and happiness by donating only £5 a month to organisations.
