Two
Lives Forever Changed...
Of course, the lives of sponsored children are changed for the better
as a result of your financial gifts. With your support, and the support
of other caring sponsors, we work with a child's family and other members
of the community to develop the entire community's ability to take care
of itself. The children will benefit from much-needed programs that
enable them to attend and thrive at school, provide basic medical care
and hygiene education. Families benefit as well, through economic opportunity
programs that provide training for parents so that they can better support
themselves.
But
the children also benefit in ways you can't even imagine. The love you
provide through a simple letter may be the encouragement a struggling
girl or boy needs to make it through another day. You'll see up close
and personal how you've given your child the chance for a better, brighter
future.
The
Second Life that is Changed is Yours!
How
can you not be touched by the photographs ... the letters ... the drawings
from a precious child? Over the years, you'll see the positive changes
you are helping to create in this special child. You'll see your child's
face change and mature as he or she grows up happier and healthier -
thanks to your caring and commitment.
When
you become a child
sponsor, it will forever change your life and the life of the child
you sponsor. The special relationship you can develop with your child
is something you'll both cherish forever.
We
Can't Wait to Tell a Child that Someone Cares!
For
just $28 a month, you can bring hope to one of the many children waiting
to be sponsored. Rest assured that your sponsorship contributions will
be used efficiently because instead of giving them directly to your
sponsored child, we combine your gifts with the gifts of other sponsors
and donors to provide community-based solutions that benefit many children
and families in your sponsored child's community.

More About Save the Children...
Beginning
at Home
On January
7, 1932 in New York City, Save the Children was created to respond to
the needs of the children of coal miners in Appalachia.
Working
Abroad
To help
European children displaced during World War II, Save the Children provided
clothes, milk and food to children and helped communities rebuild in
eight European countries.
Native
Americans
Save
the Children began working with Native Americans in 1948, when a devastating
blizzard hit the Navajo Reservation in Arizona. Technical Assistance
In the late 1950's, Save the Children took a leadership role redefining
international development and creating models for the effective transfer
of appropriate technology and skills in such areas as sustainable agriculture,
small enterprise and health.
High
Impact
Save
the Children tested a new approach that addressed community-wide needs,
such as building roads and improving water supplies, along with needs
specific to children in the Dominican Republic in 1972. This "high
impact" approach, which facilitated long-term improvements in children's
lives, was replicated around the world.
Child
Survival
In 1985,
Save the Children launched a major child survival initiative to help
families to provide better care for their children and to coordinate
medical care, water resource development and sanitation improvements.
Save the Children's health programs continue to center around child
survival, maternal health care and AIDS awareness, as well as nutrition,
clean water and sanitation.
Development/Relief
Through
the 1980's, Save the Children responded to the needs of children in
crisis, as war and natural disasters caused incredible suffering in
Asia, Africa and Latin America. Even in the most dire emergency, Save
the Children demonstrated that its community development approach could
be combined with relief to encourage self-sufficiency and ensure lasting
change in the lives of children and their families.
The
Challenge Today
Children
today -- in the United States and around the world -- face greater challenges
than ever before. More children are born into poverty and suffer from
war and natural disaster than at any other time in modern history. Never
has there been such global consensus on the need to protect the rights
and well-being of children everywhere. To help these children get the
best possible start in life, Save the Children is promoting locally
appropriate programs in education, health care, environmentally sound
agriculture, and economic productivity.
Children
in Crisis
Our Children
in Crisis programs started in Mozambique in 1988, in response to the
needs of child soldiers and unaccompanied children during the civil
war. The program later evolved into a regional initiative working with
Mozambican refugee children in Malawi and Zimbabwe. This pioneering
effort to focus on child combatants and to extend care and protection
to refugee children on a regional basis has led to international standards
and new approaches to these problems throughout the world.
Through
innovative programs and the mobilization of local support, Save the
Children's Children in Crisis Unit works to assure the care and protection
of three groups of the world's most vulnerable children:
•Children
affected by war and displacement
•Children affected by HIV/AIDS
•Exploited children (trafficked children, working children and
street children)
