Ishmael Beah's Story: From Child Soldier to Human Rights Activist | UNICEF USA

Every time you save a child from war, there is hope. From child soldier to renowned author and human rights activist, the gripping story of Ishmael Beah, a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, sounds like a novel. No wonder that it later became an inspirational, bestselling book. UNICEF played a critical role in transforming his life and bringing hope. Born out of the rubble of WW II, UNICEF has promoted children’s rights and has a presence in over 190 countries and territories, helping to save more children’s lives than any other humanitarian organization. However dire the circumstances, UNICEF has always stood for hope, because we know that — with commitment over time — we can accomplish real progress for the world's children. Investing in our children means a brighter future for all.
