UNICEF supports only girl's education -- what about boys?

UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund sends 22% of their donations to girl's education. Not a penny to boys. Expenditures here.

Their expenditures total $1.9 billion, so that works out to $4.2 million for girl's education. A very noble and worthwhile cause, but what about boys?

"Of an estimated 700 million primary-school-age children in the world today, roughly 120 million are not in school. Nearly three quarters of these children live in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. They are mostly children of ethnic minorities from remote regions, working children, children living in conditions of emergency and conflict, children affected by HIV/AIDS, and children with disabilities. And they are mostly – 53 per cent – girls."

You'd think they might be able to scrape up a few bucks for the other 47% of human beings they're supposed to serve.

It's worth telling them that you'd like to see the funding shared fairly among both boys and girls, by sending them a note here.
