Did you know...Worldwide, it is estimated that more than 15 million children have been orphaned as a result of AIDS. More than 12 million of these children live in Sub-Saharan Africa?
Did you know... in Pakistan, child labour and prostitution are rampant, in the MILLIONS!? YES, I SAID MILLIONS!
Did you know... thousands of children are kidnapped or sold from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and other East Asian countries to be used as camel jockeys in many parts of Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and United Arab Emirates?
Did you know...one third of babies born around the world each year (48 million children) are not registered. Because of this they have no legal rights and are vulnerable to trafficking, exploitation and abuse. YOU CAN register a child for only $15.00!
Did you know...you CAN help?

ITEMS ACHIEVED SO FAR
A Girl Sponsored in Bangladesh
This girl brings home her education and feeling of self esteem to her 2 sisters & mother. Education helps fight poor hygiene & sickness, abuse, and intolerance thus combating violence. It also shows girls how much they CAN accomplish and they go on to acquire employment thus combating severe poverty. Many of these girls start their own small businesses, go into teaching, or become health care workers.
