    An organization where kids lead programs to purify water sources and remove trash piles.
    This is making a difference because it's helping kids and helping clean up the slums.

    Ella is making a difference in her local orphanages in Sudan. I believe this is important because orphanages can struggle with getting all the supplies that the children need

    A child named Tessa raised $400 with a lemonade stand. She took those profits and donated them to help stop human trafficking. She did another stand and set another goal and exceeded that greatly. She raised $1,200 to donate towards human trafficking prevention.

    Three friends bought a camera on ebay and made up there mind to travel to war torn Africa and make a documentary. They documented what was happening in a war torn region of Uganda. Since then more than 5 million people have seen their film that has helped raise awareness for the situation in war torn regions of Africa. The age of these three people when they made this video is something that may surprise you they were all around 19 years old.
