UNICEF,
the only organization of the United Nations dedicated exclusively to children,
works with other United Nations bodies, governments, and non-governmental
organizations to assist in children's needs through community-based-services
in primary health care, basic education, and safe water and sanitation
in more than 140 developing countries. UNICEF shares the Kiwanis
family's global commitment to children and has provided its extensive
resources and leadership to assist in the Worldwide Service Project to
virtually eliminate Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) from the globe.
 Key
Club members will now tackle the spread of HIV/AIDS through the education
and enrichment of young girls in Kenya. The US$500,000 goal to be raised
by Key Club International members for this year’s Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF
campaign will go towards Kicking HIV Out of Kenya, a soccer program
which through recreation teaches life skills, bolsters confidence, promotes
leadership, strengthens decision making skills and raises awareness about
HIV/AIDS.
Recently, Key Club delegates visited Kenya
with the U.S. Fund for UNICEF on a fact-finding mission. While there,
they observed  first-hand
just how Kick HIVAids Out Of Kenya is making inroads. After
spending time with the girls and hearing what the program means to them,
it became clear why Kick HIV/Aids Out Of Kenya is not just fun
and games but a life-saving measure.
To learn more about these programs and how issues facing children are
being addressed, contact UNICEF and learn more. Key Clubs can actively
participate in a wide assortment of programs and projects to help educate
their communities and the world about issues facing children.
