Eastern EuropeThe vast political changes in Eastern Europe in recent years have left countries such as Romania and Moldova struggling to rebuild their social and economic systems. Poverty leaves many families malnourished and often results in parents abandoning their children. Thousands of children are forced to live in orphanages or on the streets. ChildsLife is working with government agencies, aid organizations and local communities to provide food, education and loving homes for these children. Read more.. AfricaPoverty, drought and AIDS threaten the lives and happiness of countless children across the African continent. In Kenya alone, almost one million children have lost one or both parents to AIDS. In many communities, children cannot afford an education or are forced to walk miles across sun-baked land to reach the nearest school. In Kenya, ChildsLife is building schools, paying teachers’ salaries and feeding children. We have also launched adult education classes and micro-loan programs to help parents build businesses and better lives for themselves and their children. Emergency aidEarthquakes, floods and droughts pose continuing threats to the world’s poorest communities. ChildsLife is working to help people struck by such natural disasters by partnering with emergency aid organizations. We provide goods such as sleeping bags, blankets, tents, medical supplies, clothes and food. These goods are life saving in case of disasters. |
