a Charity Spotlight: UNICEF by Jon Farzam | Jul 15, 2022 | Jon Farzam, philanthropy
The world is a rapidly changing place, and we are always eager to learn about what is happening across the globe. Recently, the conflict has arisen in Ukraine, resulting in some children being forced to leave their homes. The conflict in Ukraine started when former president Viktor Yanukovych fled the country, leaving his authority behind. He deliberately left with his billions of dollars, and thousands of citizens could not pay their bills for over a year. All was well and peaceful until this point, but Russia invaded Ukraine on 22nd February 2014 to protect its interests in the region. Russian troops have been on Ukrainian soil since, with many soldiers stationed throughout the country’s cities. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko declared a state of emergency, and many citizens fled to seek asylum in other countries. Since this declaration, many charities have been set up to help those left homeless with no place to go and nothing to eat every day. The most prominent of these charities is UNICEF, which helps children inside Ukraine and worldwide. It provides nutritional aid, vaccinations, healthcare facilities, and much more.
