The two sentences from the passage that are punctuated incorrectly are:
"Their work helps to improve the lives of children, around the world." (The comma before "around the world" is unnecessary.)
"One of the main goals of UNICEF is to help — children stay in school." (The dash is incorrectly used; it should be a colon or omitted.)
So the correct answers are the second and fourth sentences.
