Donate for Water and Sanitation Campaign with Unicef

Donation £12 each month you will give 2 whole communities water pumps to access pure, healthy water.

The Facts

Washing your hands, drinking safe water and using basic sanitation facilities, such as toilets, can help prevent disease. Yet, every day 5,000 children die because of diseases spread by poor sanitation and unclean water. In fact, this is one of the leading causes of death in children under the age of five.

Safe water and basic sanitation are critical for child survival, development and growth. However, half of all children born this year in developing countries will live in households without access to basic sanitation facilities. One-fifth will not have access to sustainable sources of drinking water.

With improved sanitation and access to safe water, they can easily prevent millions of cases of diarrhea, which result in so many children dying or becoming seriously ill. They urgently need the government to champion the 'Global Framework for Action' launched last year, which aims to tackle the crisis. You can help by taking their quick campaign action.

About the NSPCC

The London Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children was founded in 1884.

It changed its name to The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) in 1889.

Its aim then was to protect children from cruelty, support vulnerable families, campaign for changes to the law and raise awareness about abuse.

Today, the NSPCC looks very different, but its purpose remains the same: to end cruelty to children.

The NSPCC's work

They have 180 community-based projects and run the NSPCC Helpline and ChildLine in the UK and the Channel Islands.

Most of their work is with children, young people and their families.

They also work to achieve cultural, social and political change - influencing legislation, policy, practice, public attitudes and behaviours and delivering services for the benefit of young people.

Aims

They want to see a society where all children are loved, valued and able to fulfil their potential. To do this, they have four objectives:

- Mobilise everyone to take action to end child cruelty.

- Give children the help, support and environment they need to stay safe from cruelty.

- Find ways of working with communities to keep children safe from cruelty.

- Be, and be seen as, someone to turn to for children and young people.

Donate for educating children with Children in Crisis

Your donations, no matter how big or small, are essential for them to continue their work. Your gift can make a huge difference to the lives of vulnerable children around the world. It costs just £9 a month for them to send a child to school. They provide some of the world's most vulnerable children the education they need to help them change their lives forever.

About Children in Crisis

Children in Crisis was established in 1993 in the UK to give children in some of the world’s poorest countries the education they need to help transform their lives.

Worldwide, one in six children is denied an education. At the heart of our work is the belief that education is the best possible route out of poverty, bringing hope for a better future for families, communities and over time, whole societies.

Children in Crisis’ vision is of a world where all children have access to education to enable them to fulfil their potential to live positive, healthy lives and contribute to the development of the societies in which they live.

What they work

Children in Crisis currently operates in eight countries, working with local communities to meet the needs of children in the most effective way.

They work in partnership with local organisations to provide educational opportunities for some of the world’s most vulnerable children.

In Africa and Asia they support local organisations to develop education programmes for children and their communities. This includes training teachers, building and equipping schools, delivering community education programmes and training in basic health education including HIV prevention.

In Europe, there is a need for drugs education, particularly for children living in societies in which drug and alcohol misuse is common. They work with these children to ensure that they have the information and skills needed to make positive, informed decisions about their own lives.

Donation to sponsor a child with Plan Organization

You can sponsor a child with Plan organisation by making donation £12 per month.

In the world's poorest countries, millions of children live in desperate need of the very things we often take for granted - food, medicine, education and safe drinking water. Without these basics, they are often denied the chance they need to ever realise their full potential.

In some of the countries where Plan works, 1 in 5 children die before they even reach their fifth birthday. Those who survive often go hungry and have no chance of ever learning to read and write.

Your sponsorship not only helps to implement projects such as building schools, training teachers and providing water but it also provides them with the tools and knowledge to help make improvements to their lives and achieve long-term, generational change.

About Plan

Plan is a child-centred community development organisation with no religious and political affiliations, enabling families and communities in the poorest countries to make lasting improvements to the lives of their children.

Plan works with children, their parents, and their community, to plan practical ways to provide many of the things we take for granted in the UK, so that together we build schools, drill wells, get nurses trained and help families to better support themselves.
