Unicef Case Study

1
1. HOW CLOSELY ARE THEY RELATED TO YOUR HOME COUNTRY
There are too big organizations where I do voluntary work more or less: Red Cross and Unuicef.
Last year I wrote about Red Cross. So this year I decided to write about Unicef.
Unicef has voluntary groups all over the Finland. In September every year there are weekend for the voluntary workers where they meet each other. It is very great to see people from every where in Finland and have the same aim in this big organization.
Finnish Committee for Unicef has been established 1967. This committee is based in Helsinki and has about 50 employees in the office. Voluntary groups are about 40. The committee has also
National Goodwill Ambassadors, who give their time to tell about work of the Unicef.
WHAT ABOUT FROM A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE
Unicef is global organization. It has branches all over the world. In richer of developped countries of course Unicef collect money to be able to do their real work. Actually Unicef concentrates to help children: United Nations Childrens’ Fund. It means that Unicef belongs to United Nations
(UN) and it’s main aim is to save children and give children all over the world equal life circumstances. In poorer countries Unicef helps and donates areas where it is needed help. Just now the crises are in Syria, Ebola areas and Ukraine. Of course Unicef works also in the areas where is not catastrophe going on but instead there circumstances are permanently hard to live. For example there is going on water project in Uganda. It sounds: again. But the truth is that there is still water problems so Unicef tries to find new ways to solve this water problem.3
3. WHAT IS THE SITUATION OF YOUR HOME COUNTRY IN THE
INTERNATIONAL COMPARISON?
Finland give quite a lot of money to Unicef. The main thing of Finland’s Committee is to collect money for the International Unicef. The other aims are to give information about children’s position on world and school contacts in the
For example year 2013 Finland’s Committee collectd
19,4 million euros for this work.4
4. WHAT FACTORS AFFECT THAT
For the Finland’s work affect decisions of International Unicef. We in Finland have the same aims as the Unicef everywhere in thr world. Finland belongs to the richer countries. So it means that
Finland helps the poorer countries.
Finland’s committee mostly collects money. How much money the committee gives to International fund depends on that how much Finnish people are ready to give. Maximum 24 percent of the collection result can go to collection costs. The rest has to go to raise International fund result.5
5. HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THE ROLE OF THE ORGANIZATION IN THE FUTURE
The meaning of Unicef will surely always be very huge. If there won’t be any corruption, the work of Unicef is specially meaningful. Although the organization itself is very big, it works very hard for the children in the world.
Surely the meaning might change. If the situations in different countries change then also the work of Unicef will change. The employees follow all the time what happens in the world. They all the time know what is going on and where. So they are all the time ready to change the their work
