Your sponsorship gifts will provide your child with:

Emergency Food
Medical and Dental Care
Educational Support
Family Assistance
Clothes, Shoes and More!

In return, you’ll receive personal letters, updated photos and of course, the love and gratitude of your sponsored child. And now you can find out if sponsorship is right for you with absolutely no cost, no risk and no obligation.

Simply fill out the form on Care2 and Children International will rush you the photo and family history of a special boy or girl who desperately needs your love and help. Then, if you decide to become a sponsor, your gift will be only $22 a month. That’s only 72 cents a day.
You are under no obligation but we think once you learn more about this special child, you’ll want to become part of the Children International family. So, please sign up to request your free information kit now!

What does education have to do with homes?

02/23/2011 Nativegrl77

At Habitat, we believe the link between learning and housing is undeniable. Studies suggest that 115 million school-aged children around the world are not in school. And we know that children from the poorest households are more likely to be out of school than the rest of the population. These numbers are entirely unacceptable.

As Vice President of Global Program Development and Support, I am committed to doing all that I can to help ensure that, through Habitat’s efforts across the globe, more children and parents find the stable home environment in which learning can take root.

Your generous donation to Habitat today will give more children a chance to succeed.

More than 1/3 of the world’s population lives below the poverty line, subsisting on less than $1.25 per day — that’s over 2 billion people. Ceilings on the verge of collapse, dangerously exposed wiring, plumbing that doesn’t work, and the lack of heat in the dead of winter — living conditions like these contribute to homes where families must focus more on surviving than on thriving.

Safe and decent housing, the financial ability to cover school fees, and close proximity to schools are all contributing factors to a child’s opportunity to fulfill his or her academic potential. By developing innovative programs that account for all the needs a family has — including access to educational and learning opportunities — Habitat deepens its commitment to building a brighter future in which children and their parents can meet their full potential.

Your support will help to provide housing and hope for a better tomorrow for families around the world.

Having partnered with more than 400,000 families — including thousands of children — we are creating safe and stable environments where learning can take root. We’re helping build home environments where children can enjoy a quiet place to study — an opportunity to thrive.

Together, we are working to end poverty housing and to build the foundation for a brighter future for our children.

Thank you for your generous support.

In partnership,

0 children dead from preventable causes

09/23/2010 Nativegrl77

Take action to reduce the number of preventable child deaths to zero.

Big news: UNICEF just announced that the number of children under the age of five dying each day has significantly dropped over the past year: from 24,000 to 22,000.

We’re asking you to take action today and help make that number ZERO.

We know you believe that 22,000 children dying from preventable causes each day is 22,000 too many. They die from causes most of us will never have to worry about – such as starvation, unsanitary living conditions, no access to clean drinking water, or lack of a five-cent vaccine.

We are making remarkable progress toward a world in which no child dies from preventable causes, and can see a light at the end of the tunnel. But without a strong commitment by the U.S. government, we will never reach zero. Please urge Congress to fully fund our committment to UNICEF this year to help save millions of children’s lives and protect their futures.

From measles campaigns in Pakistan to emergency food in Ethiopia; from hurricane relief in Haiti to anti-malarial bed net distribution in Nigeria – UNICEF’s work is having a huge impact. And with this latest announcement comes more hope – we can see that the drop in child mortality is actually accelerating.

In a very concrete way, the news about a drop in child mortality demonstrates that global investment and strategic partnerships are putting comprehensive child survival strategies in place that get results. Over the last 50 years, UNICEF and its partners have helped reduce the worldwide child mortality rate by more than 50%. This pace of improvement is increasing, and we are getting closer to a day when zero children die from preventable causes.

Please write Congress today and urge continued strong support of UNICEF so that we can continue to reduce the number of preventable child deaths around the world.

Thanks for all that you do,
