Climate change is wreaking havoc across Kenya where farmers no longer know when to expect the rains. In the village of Taveta, farmers on the brink of ruin after season after season of failed harvests, found a way to change with the climate and get their fields growing again. Here's how.

For too long, migrant workers have been an invisible majority in the Middle East. They are rarely discussed in the media and receive little protection from the governments of host countries, many of whom have no clear policies for safeguarding their welfare.

United Nations, New York, 26 February 2010 - Video Message from UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on the occasion of International Women's day 2010. The fight for women's rights is central to the UN's global mission. Fifteen years ago, in Beijing, Governments committed themselves to equality, development and peace for all women, in all countries. The Beijing Declaration was a landmark on the road to women's empowerment. It has guided policy making. It has inspired women and girls to strive for equality and opportunity, and reminded everyone that this is their right. We have seen progress. Girls are now more likely to receive an education. Women are now more likely to run businesses or participate in government. But much work remains. Death in childbirth is still too common. Too few women have access to family planning. Violence against women remains a cause of global shame, and sexual violence in war is endemic. I have just appointed a special representative to mobilize international action to address these crimes. At the United Nations itself, we have more women in senior posts than at any time in history. Securing women's rights is central to all our hopes for peace, security and sustainable development. As we look back on 15 years of achievement, let us look forward to a world of equality and progress for all. Website: http:www.un.orgeneventswomeniwd2010index.shtml

United Nations, New York, 19 August 2010 - On 11 December 2008, the United Nations General Assembly decided: "...to designate 19 August as World Humanitarian Day in order to contribute to increasing public awareness about humanitarian assistance activities worldwide and the importance of international cooperation in this regard, as well as to honour all humanitarian and United Nations and associated personnel who have worked in the promotion of the humanitarian cause and those who have lost their lives in the cause of duty, and invites all Member States and the entities of the United Nations system, within existing resources, as well as other international organizations and non-governmental organizations, to observe it annually in an appropriate manner." World Humanitarian Day is in part dedicated to the memory of all those aid workers, who have lost their lives while bringing assistance to others, the majority of them from the communities they are trying to help. 19 August 2003 is the date on which a brutal terrorist attack on UN headquarters in Baghdad killed 22 people, including UN envoy Sergio Vieira de Mello.

United Nations, New York, 30 September 2010 - All countries must protect the human rights of the tens of millions of migrants worldwide who lack proper legal status and are thus more likely to face abuse, prolonged detention and ill-treatment, enslavement, rape or even murder, a United Nations-backed group warned today. "Too often, States have addressed irregular migration solely through the lens of sovereignty, border security or law enforcement, sometimes driven by hostile domestic constituencies," the Global Migration Group (GMG) said in a statement adopted at the end of a meeting in Geneva that noted that children are particularly vulnerable.

A bank foreclosure story you've got to see to believe. A Collier County couple turns the tables on Bank of America, the bank that tried to foreclose on their home. Now, the family is foreclosing on the bank! Even bringing trucks and deputies ready to seize property. The foreclosure nightmare started when Warren and Maureen Nyerges paid cash for a home owned by Bank of American in the Golden Gate Estates. They never had a mortgage whatsoever. But, the bank fouled it up and wound up issuing a foreclosure through their attorney. The couple took their case to court and after a year and a half nightmare the foreclosure was dropped. A Collier County judge said Bank of America has to pay the couple's $2,534 legal fees for the error. After more than five months the bank still hadn't paid up. So, the homeowners' attorney did just what the bank would do to get their money, legally seize their assets. "I instructed the deputy to go in and take desks, computers, copiers, filing cabinets, including cash in the drawers," Attorney Todd Allen told WINK News. Outside the Bank of America on Davis Boulevard, several deputies stood by with movers ready to start hauling out the bank's office supplies and furniture. Inside, the homeowners' attorney was locked out of the bank manager's office by deputies while the bank manger tried to figure out what to do. Allen says the manager was visibly shaken, "Having two Sheriff's deputies sitting across your desk, and a lawyer standing behind them, demanding whatever assets are in the bank can be intimidating. But, so is having your home foreclosed on when it wasn't right." After about an hour the bank finally cut a check to satisfy the debt, and no furniture was taken. A representative for Bank of America issued a statement saying they are sorry for the delay in issuing funds. They claim the original request went to an outside attorney who is no longer in business. As for Allen, he calls this a symptom of a larger problem he sees often in the courts, where banks don't perform their due diligence on foreclosure cases. "As a foreclosure defense attorney this is sweet justice."

Millions of people in the Global South suffer from neglected diseases, many of which could be treated, even cured, if they were detected early enough. But reliable, low cost diagnosis hasn't been available, as drug companies have no incentive to invest in the diseases of the poor. New pandemics can go undetected until they have spread out of control, like HIV, and treatable ailments can cripple impoverished communities because it is too expensive to detect them early enough to do something.

For World Water Week UNICEF is focusing on the impact of water and sanitation interventions on children. Here is one in a series of related stories. TLOGAWATU, Indonesia, 18 August 2008 -- On the eastern slopes of Mount Merapi, a sacred, active volcano on the island of Java, change is about to come with the next rainfall. Men from all across the village of Tlogawatu are pouring concrete into a blue cylindrical mould behind the house of a villager named Paimo. The mysterious shape is a rainwater cistern. As it fills up during the wet season, this 'catchment' will provide Paimo's family with a year-round source of water. With support from UNICEF, most of the other houses in the village will also soon receive catchments. To read the full story, visit: http:www.unicef.orginfobycountryindonesia_45239.html

United Nations, New York, March 2012 - The goal of reducing by half the number of people without access to safe drinking water has been achieved, well ahead of the 2015 deadline for reaching the globally agreed development targets aimed at ridding the world of extreme poverty, hunger and preventable diseases, the United Nations said today. Between 1990 and 2010, over two billion people gained access to improved drinking water sources, such as piped supplies and protected wells, according to a joint report by the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the UN World Health Organization (WHO).

Are you feeling the pain of the global economic crisis? Most of us are. -- In the shops, at the fuel pumps, at the money distributor. All over the world, the poorest among us are struggling to survive, struggling to provide food, or wondering when they will eat again. Just as we are all affected by the situation, we can all change it. Do you want to do something about it? You and I can change the world; make it a better place for you and all our children. Globalization makes our task all the more easy. The children are our future. Their hope is in your hands. What happens to children in their first period of their lives is essential in their development (intellectually, emotionally, socially, physically and morally), and thus the development of our society and the world.

Some 373 natural disasters claimed the lives of more than 296,800 people last year, affecting nearly 208 million and costing nearly $110 billion, according to annual data compiled by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) of the Université catholique de Louvain in Belgium, and supported by the UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR), the UN body charged with helping coordinate efforts to achieve substantive reduction in disaster losses and build resilient nations and communities.
