Three International Agencies in Support of
Children's Development:
International Forum for Child Welfare
"The International Forum for
Child Welfare is an international nongovernmental organization dedicated to the
promotion of the rights and well being of children globally which recognizes
the contribution of effective leadership in the challenge of making the world a
better place for children.
IFCW
is founded on respect for children’s rights and committed to responding to
their needs. Comprised of leading child welfare organizations throughout the
world, the IFCW believes that by strengthening the capacity of organizations
through leadership development, identification and exchange of effective
practice and promoting collaborative partnerships, the well being of children
can be significantly improved"(IFCW).
I chose this international organization
because it concern with preserving the overall rights of children, in order to
provide a better way of life for their future.
"Founded in 1977, International Society for the
Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (ISPCAN) is the only multidisciplinary
international organization that brings together a worldwide cross-section of
committed professionals to work toward the prevention and treatment of child
abuse, neglect and exploitation globally. Learn
more about ISPCAN"(ISPCAN).
I
chose this international agency, because it is in support of eliminating child
abuse worldwide, and since it is on the rise and children die daily because of
abuse, I can't think of a better cause to support.

I chose this international agency in support of
children, because it covered all spectrums such as
HIV/AIDs, child protection, child development,
education etc I am amazed at all they do
and the lives they touch.

I chose
this international organization because it is support of children's
health. In the last year, I was lucky
enough to attend a international celebration called "The Overflow"
and children from all the third world countries performed and showed the
wonderful outcome of the clean water and sanitation wells put in etc. All of children had rough lives, but they had
voices of angels and they were living
proof of how a little goes along way.
"The
United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) works in more than 190 countries and
territories to save and improve children’s lives, providing health care and immunizations, clean water and sanitation, nutrition, education, emergency relief, and
more. The U.S. Fund for UNICEF supports UNICEF’s work through fundraising,
advocacy, and education in the United States. Together, we are working toward
the day when ZERO children die from preventable causes and every child has a
safe and healthy childhood"( UNICEFUSA).
