Ludwik Rajchman
According to Wikipedia Ludwik
Witold Rajchman was a Polish physician and
bacteriologist. He was born on November
1st, 1881, in Warsaw, Poland, and he died on
July 13th, 1965, in Chenu, France. Rajchman
was the founder of the organization
UNICEF, also known as The United Nations
International Children's Emergency Fund. It
was founded on December 11th, 1946, in New York. “For 70 years, UNICEF has worked to
improve the lives of children and their families”. The mission of UNICEF is to "advocate for the
protection of children's rights, to help meet their basic needs, and to expand their opportunities to
reach their full potential. "Despite remarkable challenges around the world, UNICEF staffers
fight for the rights of every child seeking safe shelter, nutrition, protection from disasters,
conflicts, and equality”. Some regions of the world are suffering from a severe shortage of
services. More than 1 billion children are severely deprived of health, nutrition, education, and
90 percent of children are malnourished. Poverty is a factor in more than half of all child deaths
in developing countries, and about 270 million children do not have access to health care.
Helping the world's children is a necessary step in providing them with primary education, health

care, and seeking to improve home care for children. Being uneducated is currently leading to
widespread poverty. Education is the right solution for children against poverty. UNICEF works
in 158 countries and calls on all governments and communities to promote education for all
children. There are solutions to address child poverty with the support of the 20 institutions in
the Alliance for the Eradication of Poverty in rural Leusto, but families are not receiving the
assistance they need because they are unknown to the government. UNICEF seeks to find every
family at risk and provide social protection for children. In the mountainous kingdom of Lesotho
in South Africa, UNICEF has set up an organization funded by the European Union, which aims
to reach needy families and add everyone to the database called NESA, which aims to provide
individual assistance to orphans and children. Mobile messages are also offered in mountain
villages of Leosto. HIV, and AIDS prevention.
In 2014, the Ebola virus spread in West Africa, killing more than 11,000 people and more
than 12,000 children who lost their parents. Three years later, devastating floods occurred in the
capital, killing 1,141 people and displacing 3,000 people. Serayun is one of the most
impoverished countries. UNICEF has worked with families to help children return to school and
rebuild homes. UNICEF and its partners support the people of Sweden and provide about 260
US dollars, which they use for activities such as agriculture and soap production. In the year of
2017 Foday and Mamiesia Kallon and their son lived a normal and happy life in Freetown’s
Dwarzark community. But on August 14, floods swept through their home, losing all their
possessions. The family was one of the thousands affected by the floods that swept the capital,
and many had to live in makeshift camps. The United Kingdom's Department of International
Development (DFID) made a small cash payment to Foday and Mamiesia. Mamiesia has started
a small business selling shoes.

Furthermore, another event the UNICEF worked on is supporting a family financially to
receive an education. The Serbian family contains 3 children and a pregnant mother. The
children ages 12 years old, ten years old and a sister about to start kindergarten. The mother can’t
offer money for her children to go to school, and her husband can barely pay their rent and other
bills. The children don’t have any school supplies. The mother explained her situation by saying
"School, textbooks, and kindergarten would all be just a pipe dream for us if we hadn't received
the financial assistance". Radimla helped this family get their financial support by obtaining
necessary documents such as birth certificates, place of residence certificates, and citizenship
certificates. Radimla taught them how to fill important applications to receive financial
assistance. Now this family is receiving financial support every month. The mother Djina feels
happy "If we weren't getting this money, I doubt whether Selma and Enver would be enrolled in
school. It's not much when you have three children and a fourth on the way, but it does help. I'm
satisfied and happy. The children listen to me and they are doing well in school. I want them to
be healthy, and smarter than me and their dad – and not to get married too young. For now, they
are on the right track", Djina says.

UNICEF is committed to making every dollar used to save the lives of poor people, and
UNICEF gets money through donations. UNICEF works at all times and even in times of
emergency. Children and young people can be helped anywhere in the world during the hour.
UNICEF's work for children is possible, through strong partnerships with governments and civil
society. The only thing that matters to UNICEF is to achieve success by reaching poor people,
working day and day, in the most difficult places to reach the neediest children. To give them a
childhood where they enjoy health and education and give them a chance to achieve their
dreams.
