Pledge to help children in need around the globe

Pledge to help children in need around the globe

The Issue

For poor children and their families, poverty is a place where there is a scarcity of hope, and an excess of fear. Affordable, healthy food is in short supply, while parasites and disease thrive.

Six million children under the age of 5 die as a result of hunger and malnutrition every year.

With parents struggling to make ends meet on a few dollars a day, it is all too common for impoverished children to go to bed hungry. For many, education is considered a luxury. Lacking such things as school supplies or uniforms can keep a poor child from attending school.

Oftentimes, medical and dental care is unavailable or difficult to access, let alone afford. Simple, preventive ailments like diarrhea can be deadly when you are a poor child.

But with the support of sponsors, Children International is giving hundreds of thousands of children hope – and a chance to rise above their desperate circumstances and to live with dignity.

Sign the pledge to help relieve the suffering of needy children around the globe. Children International will rush you a free information kit including a photo and family history of a boy or girl who desperately needs your help. If you decide to sponsor, your gift will only be $25 a month.
