As a child living in the UK my life is very different from that of millions of other children who live in constant danger of war, famine, poverty, child labour, human trafficking and many other threats. I cannot really imagine every difficulty they go through, but I do know that even a child like me can do something to help those children across the world. If millions of children like me try to help at least another child in need, we can surely protect them all and make a difference to their lives.

I am raising funds for these children because if we grow up in a world where they grow up as deprived adults, we will not have a fair, safe and secure future for this interconnected planet.

What I have done

A few years ago I decided to give up my birthday gifts altogether and instead requested friends and family to donate to UNICEF UK for my birthday.  This is because I wanted my birthday gifts to help create a better future for me and all other children rather can create more material waste! 

What have I achieved

I have raised around £350 for UNICEF UK through my ‘Birthdays for UNICEF’ initiative, so far.
A large number of friends and family have also started following me and have so far raised several thousand pounds for good causes.
