Social media, poor children, charity.

    Many children don't have a family or money for water and food. How would people know about these children without social media? Have you ever donated money to charity? Each of us every day complains about our life because we don't have enough money for a new car, brand clothes or expensive restaurants. But we don't think about people who really need money just for one cup of water or small piece of bread.

"In Africa, mortality rates among children under five decreased by 45 percent between 1990 and 2016, but still half of the world's 6.6 million under-five deaths occur in Africa. • Pneumonia, malaria, and diarrhea account for 40% of all under-five deaths in Africa. • At least 1 in 3 children under five in Africa were stunted in 2011. • In 2016, there were an estimated 2.9 million children under 15 years living with HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa. • Over half of the world’s out-of-school children (33 million) live in Africa. • The population in Africa with access to an improved drinking source more than doubled from 1990 to 2016. • There has been major progress in the last decade in the use of insecticideChildren in Africa treated nets among children. The most important problem in Africa: There is no food and water" said UNICEF 

   This emotional video on Youtube about hunger African children by UNICEF.

                                               

UNICEF always supports children in hunger and actually has a lot of celebrity Goodwill Ambassadors who always help these children. Their Instagram account has 2.1M followers.

                               

                         

 Many of these followers are famous people who have millions of followers, which can help these people. Because people love charity.  A lot of famous people are ambassadors and spend a lot of money for charity every day.

    Do you know why wanted to show you celebrities on social media? Because this is one of the best examples of charity. People used their gadgets and social media more than TV shows or some commercials and they want to know what makes their idols. 
   A lot of famous people post videos or pictures about poor and hungry children and people follow these famous pages on social media and can get information about them. We can easily find a lot of emotional videos, such as one in which Ed Sheeran performed a gig in Bristol, which raised £40,000 for a charity that reaches out to street sex workers.

                                               

 "It's good to show insight that these people are real people with real emotions and they deserve the same charity work as anyone else," Sheeran said. He was one of nearly thirty celebrities, which included Helen Mirren, Jeremy Iro, and Hugh Laurie, to donate items of winter clothing to the campaign, with the proceeds used to help people in the country struggling to keep their home warm in winter. He always posted information about the donation on his Instagram.

 Another good example is a Red Nose Day.

 "We’ve used the power of laughter and community to start a movement, where we come together to end child poverty, one nose at a time", they said on their official website. 

 If you're asking yourself  "What is Red Nose Day?" then you should go watch this video on their YouTube channel.

By the way, they have Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest.

    One of the interesting example is a Ice Bucket Challange.
Hundreds of thousands of people from around the world poured ice water itself, the whole process was recorded on camera and then uploaded to the Internet calling others friends to do the same. This way they tried to draw the world's attention to ALS, which is a terminal illness. Driven by the viral effect and the participation of Hollywood stars and Silicon Valley, donations have reached almost 80 million dollars during the first few weeks. The number of references of this flash mob on Twitter is correlated with the number of donations made to the ALS fund. Ice Bucket Challenge reached its highest when Justin Timberlake did it. A few days later, Mark Zuckerberg did it too and started a chain reaction that lasted for a few days.

Every day, poor children die from various diseases, hunger and thirst. It is important key facts about it.

We do not notice this, because we live our life, spend a lot of money for travel, cars, and expensive food, but we should think about poor people, we should help them. 

  

This is a motivational video on Youtube about the things you can do with 2 dollars. You can buy a new app, snacks, or a lottery ticket. But never forget that 3 billion people in the world today struggle to survive on 2$ a day. Every year 15 million children die of hunger. You can save a LIFE.

Do you remember when the last time is that you donated money?
