Childreach International supports some of the poorest kids in the world with projects in Nepal, Cambodia, India, China, Tanzania and Bangladesh.
The three main goals of Childreach International is to make sure each child has access to health, education and child rights. (I'm sure most of us take all these things for granted...)
One project that really interests me is the AWIH project in Nepal. This stands for the Association for the Welfare of the Intellectually Handicapped.The main objectives of this project are to: support and educate parents of children with learning difficulties, raise public awareness and banish misconceptions about those who are intellectually handicapped and to develop the life skills and confidence of children with learning difficulties to help them lead more independent day-to-day lives.
I think it's really important in all countries and in all aspects of life for everyone to be given equal opportunities and to not be shunned because of something that isn't considered 'normal'. This project gives me hope that these things ARE happening world wide.
Another fantastic innovative project that Childreach International are funding is called The Climate Challenge.
This project not only aims to minimise gas emissions but it also aims to drastically reduce the number of deaths caused by carbon emissions whilst cooking. Unbelievably 1.2million deaths a year occur this way in Africa.
Childreach International's plans are to provide the majority of people with zero emissions solar powered cooking stoves. These only cost £1.50 each and last for 2 years! Think of how many lives your money could be saving!
Our carbon footprint is a very up-to-date concern for the whole of the world, so I believe Childreach International are spot on with this project!
