You Can Be The Change
Let’s face it…change is hard. It really is. Although a lot of us may be very passionate about the equality of children and social justice for all individuals affected by war, most of us and tend to shy away from the problems. Yet change is a crucial part of productivity and if we lack the ability to adapt and grow, your productivity will stall, stagnate, and finally die.
What About The Children wanted individuals to realise the two main reasons why we don’t change as often as we should and how we, as an organisation with your help, can overcome that.
1. The lack of knowledge: We simply don’t realize that we need to change
This website is just one example showcasing that there is a very severe and dangerous problem, war, which is affecting innocent children which needs to be changed in order to improve
2. Lack of willpower: Knowing that we need to change, but we just don’t have the motivation to do it.
This website, all the social media, all the awareness and promotion is to create the sense of motivation to individuals to know that everyone can make a difference.
Below, gain inspiration to understand that no matter the size, weight, colour or social/financial status; everyone can be the change.

Why YOU should help
Below is a video created to encourage all ages to donate either financially (money etc.), emotionally (thinking and praying for the children etc.) or physically (volunteering etc.).
How YOU should help
Below we have provided thoughts that many people face when they hear about organisations wanting to make a change, and our suggestion/response to that
We often try to change too much to quickly. Instantaneously trying to go from no change to massive change can quickly send us into a state of shock and oppose our movement for change.
We suggest: Make small changes instead. If your goal is to protect children in war zones, which is a huge change, break it down into smaller changes for example donations. Small success leads to more success, which leads to momentum. Momentum propels you toward large, lasting change.
We become discouraged after past failures. Sometimes what we hoped was going to be a lasting change turns into a quick, passing phase.
We suggest: The difference between successful people and everyone else is not in how many times they fail, it’s in how they handle those failures“fall down seven times, stand up eight.” Instead of reacting to past failures by becoming discouraged, proactively turn past failures into learning experiences. Go back and analyze your past approaches to change "Did you not have enough money?" or "Was the cause not in your interest?" Determine where in the process you broke down and come up with a plan to conquer that step this time, e.g. small donations every month or join the organisation to become more passionate and interested
We fear that the effort to change might not be worth it in the end. What if we spend a huge amount of time and energy trying to change and then find out that the end result is not even worth it? If you’ve ever had that happen to you, you are less likely to attempt change in the future.
We Suggest: Wondering whether our time and effort will actually be worth it in the end is a fairly justified concerned but we can guarantee that any change, no matter how small, in regards to children in conflict zones will be very worthy.
We don’t have the needed resources to make the change. There are certain changes in life that require actual resources. Not having those resources makes those changes very difficult.
We Suggest: Dig deep into the well of creativity.Donation money is not the only way to donate to a charity. It is essential to understand that you can donate you time (through volunteering, raising awareness or promoting the organisation etc.) as well as emotional donations (pray and think about the children etc.)
We’re not convinced we need to change in the first place. If someone suggests that we need to change, but we’re not totally convinced, the likelihood of us changing is slim to none.
We Suggest: In the case of children and war, no one can be convinced that no change needs to be made. Although there are organisation already helping, it is not enough. We need a new generation of people to understand that their refusal to make the change will play out on the lives of the children.
