- Health: People who are healthy will create better lives for themselves, their communities and their countries. Improving the health of the world's children is a core objective by UNICEF.
- Nutrition: People who are well nourished tend to be more healthy, productive and it benefits their whole community as well as the whole world.
- Child trafficking: This is a violation of the children's rights and denies their opportunity to reach their full potential of a well-being person. Proper social services and health care is required for them.
- Child labour: This triggers intergenerational cycles of poverty and it hinders achieving any goals of the government and undermines national economy.
- Gender equality: Promoting equal rights, especially to women and girls, aid in the country programmes of political, social and economic development in their communities.
- HIV/AIDS: Many, particularly in Africa, are suffering from this disease and if it is not prevented or the epidemic does not cease, it will be hard for the community to develop.
- Poverty: Children who face poverty, might not have the chance to experience proper education and be healthy. This threat could be passed on through generations and experience inequality in society.
- Quality of education: Only some have access to high quality education and some have such poor quality education that it does not count as education. Quality education is education that works for every child and enables them to achieve their full potential.
- Water, sanitation and hygiene: Bad WASH (Water, sanitation, hygiene) results to poor production of any product and national economies suffer; hence, sustainable development is impossible without it.
- Global economic crisis: Due to the global economic crisis, many households are not able to afford essential needs, protection, health and right education. Many governments lack the resources but have a high demand. Therefore, they need assistance and need to partner with other governments to improve the situation.
