I am grateful for organizations like the UNICEF, Save the Children and the UNESCO, which are completely dedicated for the well- being of children.
“The UNICEF works in over 190 countries and territories to save children’s lives, to defend their rights, and to help them fulfil their potential, from early childhood through adolescence” (UNICEF, 2019). “UNICEF works with partners around the world to promote policies and expand access to services that protect all children” (UNICEF, 2019). “UNICEF was established on 11 December 1946 by the United Nations to meet the emergency needs of children in post-war Europe and China. Its full name was the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund. In 1950, its mandate was broadened to address the long-term needs of children and women in developing countries everywhere. UNICEF became a permanent part of the United Nations system in 1953, when its name was shortened to the United Nations Children's Fund. However, UNICEF retained its original acronym” (UNICEF, 2019).
“Save the Children believes every child deserves a future. In the U.S. and around the world, we give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. We do whatever it takes for children – every day and in times of crisis – transforming their lives and the future we share” (Save the Children, 2019).
The United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) “seeks to build peace through international cooperation in Education, the Sciences and Culture. UNESCO's programs contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals defined in Agenda 2030, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2015” (UNESCO, 2019). “UNESCO's founding vision was born in response to a world war that was marked by racist and anti-Semitic violence. Seventy years on and many liberation struggles later, UNESCO’s mandate is as relevant as ever. Cultural diversity is under attack and new forms of intolerance, rejection of scientific facts and threats to freedom of expression challenge peace and human rights. In response, UNESCO's duty remains to reaffirm the humanist missions of education, science and culture” (UNESCO, 2019).
There are various jobs, all aiming the well- being of children, internationally like "Save the Children Jobs in Rwanda : Project Coordinator, Advancing the Rights of Children and Youth with Disability" (MJobWeb Rwanda, 2019). But it requires a
- Degree in Social Sciences or related field (MJobWeb Rwanda, 2019) and
- Proven experience in disability inclusive programming, accessibility adaptations (MJobWeb Rwanda, 2019).
