In 2005 the United Nations estimated that there are 500 million children

under 14 living in Africa.

Unfortunately, about 120 thousand of these children have been taken from their homes, brainwashed,

and turned into ruthless killers, or what we call child soldiers.

However, there is hope.

Organizations like Invisible Children and Amnesty International have programs that can be donated to

that rehabilitate children and help prevent atrocities like this from

happening in the future.

You can help.

Donate now.
