UNICEF Ambassador Joel Madden Talks Malaria & Clean Water

As a UNICEF ambassador, part of Joel Madden’s job is to raise awareness about issues affecting children in developing countries. He recently made two different public service announcements for this very reason, talking about two different causes he cares about.

In this first video, Joel talks about malaria. One child dies from malaria every thirty seconds. This can be prevented with something as simple as an insecticide-treated bed net. Spread the Net is a Canadian-based initiative striving to deliver affordable nets to children all over Africa. For only $10, you can buy a net and save a child’s life.

In this second video, Joel talks about the Tap Project. The Tap Project is helping UNICEF bring safe drinking water to children all over the world. Joel encourages you to get involved. Only $1 can give a child clean water for 40 days.

It’s great Joel is getting so involved with his role as UNICEF ambassador and lending his name and face to so many different causes. It would have been nice, though, if these videos had a bit more life to them.

If you are interested in helping out with either cause, be sure to visit their websites to learn more!
