Save the Children

Do you have a few minutes to help us make a difference in the lives of children in need?

 Help us by making a Squidoo page!  
Save the Children reaches millions of children and families around the world and in the U.S. - but we couldn't do it without the support from caring individuals who believe in our mission.

You can help us make a difference right now - and for free. By creating a lens about something you care about — hobbies, books, recreation, pets - anything at all - and select Save the Children your charity of choice. The traffic you send and the royalties your lens generates will help spread the word and help support our mission.

Why Build a Lens for Save the Children

  
Save the Children is the leading independent organization creating lasting change in the lives of children in need in the United States and around the world. Recognized for our commitment to accountability, innovation and collaboration, our work takes us into the heart of communities, where we help children and families help themselves.

It is a member of the International Save the Children Alliance, comprising 28 national Save the Children organizations working in more than 110 countries to ensure the well-being of children.

Why We Need Your Help

  
Every day...

  • 28,000 children under age 5 die from preventable causes every day, such as diarrhea, malaria, pneumonia and malnutrition.

  • 77 million children - the majority of them girls - are not attending school.

  • More than 600 million children in the developing world live in families that must survive on less than $1 a day

  • 1 in 6 children in the United States lives in poverty

An Organization You Can Trust

  
You can be assured that Save the Children spends its dollars efficiently. In fiscal year 2006, we spent 90% of all expenditures on program services. Ninety percent is an average for all Save the Children's programs worldwide; the percentage spent in a particular program may vary. It is because of our commitment to children that Save the Children is ranked high among other non-profit organizations. Read our industry ratings and evaluations.

Just found this Save The Children HQ page. We contribute 100% of any income we garner from any of our lenses to Save The Children, so we thought we would put together a lens on Save The Children. Check it out! :o)

I plead on bended knee for KENWA in Nairobi, Kenya. We need $200,000 to send our orphans to school. And $300,000 to feed them 4 more months. Our grain is almost gone. Children will go hungry soon. Please help.
Even $1 helps.

You save taxes.

Yours in service,
KENWA www.kenwa
