Oliviera with his ox and cart, provided by Save the Children as part of a climate change adaptation project in Mozambique. Apart from helping him to work his land more productively, Oliviera is able to make extra income from renting out his cart, and transporting food and goods for other people. He says: “with this additional income we will be able to pay for school fees and transport for children to access higher education.”
In the Zambezi valley of Mozambique, climate change has affected hundreds of thousands people, who largely depend on rain-fed subsistence agriculture to make a living. With funding from UKaid from the Department for International Development, Save the Children works with farming communities affected by recurring floods and drought to enhance their resilience to the impact of climate change.

About The Project (Oct 2012- March 2013)
Are you a piece?
Pioneers of the emerging contemporary craft movement Mr X Stitch, Deadly Knitshade & Hilary of Craftblog UK are joining the Craftivist Collective to urge the craft community to help us create a giant jigsaw embroidered with provocative messages to support Save the Children's Race Against Hunger Campaign. Wanna join us?
In November 2012 we went on a trip to Indonesia to see how people are tackling child malnutrition there with the support of Save the Children.
What?
Using jigsaw pieces stitched by craftivists (that means you!), the project will create an art installation to raise awareness of the issues of world hunger and injustice. As well as making a piece for the artwork, we're encouraging you to make one for yourself to keep as a reminder to be part of the solution, and to give a piece stitched with the words "I'm a piece" to your MP, to ask them to be the positive change they wish to see in the world. You can find instructions here, your jigsaw template here, suggested slogans here, a story to reflect on whilst stitching here and there's also a video here.- everything you should need!
Why?
The aim is to raise awareness and show that the craft community wants the Government to use its power and influence as host of the 2013 G8 to tackle injustice. Each piece of the puzzle will be stitched with a message to remind us we can all improve the world and help fulfill its potential to be a more beautiful place for all.
Where?
There will be craft events across the country from Manchester to London, Cardiff and Milton Keynes and crafty activists are invited to do the project on their own, with friends or set up their own event, as well as spreading messages and images about the project through their social media platforms using #imapiece. And, of course, we hope you'll sign the Race Against Hunger petition too.
You can help!
Please join the Craftivist Collective's Jigsaw Project, which will run until the spring 2013. Help put hunger at the top of the agenda at the G8 next summer, and encourage us all to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

Lisa Edelstein of FOX TV's HOUSE (back row, left); former Senate Majority Leader and Save the Children Board of Trustees member Bill Frist, MD (back row, right); Hannah Rickard, age 9, of Friendswood, TX; and Emma Hecht, age 9, of Wall, NJ. show their support for bringing healthcare to young children in all pockets of the world at Save the Children’s Advocacy Day in Washington, DC on May 6, 2010. The girls are holding caps they knit to keep newborn babies in poor countries warm, preventing hypothermia.
Edelstein made a HOUSE call to encourage U.S. leaders to make sure lifesaving health care reaches babies and toddlers who need it most in all corners of the world. Nearly 24,000 children under 5 die every day from preventable and treatable causes due to the lack of basic health care. Yet, simple solutions - like antibiotics to treat infection and oral rehydration solutions to treat dehydration - delivered by local health workers could help most of these children survive.
Edelstein’s visit to the halls of the Capitol comes on the heels of Save the Children and the Ad Council launching a major national public service campaign called “See Where the Good Goes.” The multi-media campaign seeks to show Americans that they can have a significant impact on saving and improving the lives of at-risk children and newborns by supporting the delivery of lifesaving health care through local health workers.

British military and humanitarian experts are setting up a medical treatment centre for victims of the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone.
The 92 bed facility will be purpose built and operated by military engineers and medical staff. The initial phase of the facility will be constructed and operational within 8 weeks.
The UK’s support follows a direct request from the World Health Organisation and the government of Sierra Leone for assistance in containing the outbreak.
Based in Kerry Town near the capital Freetown, the facility will treat victims of the disease, including local and international health workers and medical volunteers.
The UK government is working with Save the Children to design a long term plan to manage and operate the facility after it has been fully set up.
In total, the UK has committed to delivering 700 treatment beds in the coming months.

'There is a process that we call an in-depth assessment, where we assess all the challenges that a child is facing and come up with a well-structured individual action plan to try and find solutions,’ says Azara’s social worker, who is helping her rebuild her life.
Azara’s sewing trainer is very happy with her progress: 'Azara is one of the best learners in the training,' she says.

Royal Navy sailors have arrived at the island of Guintacan which suffered extensive damage to buildings and infrastructure during Typhoon Haiyan.
Three people lost their lives and many had wounds from being hit by flying objects, with little medical care provided as there was just one nurse with dwindling medical supplies.After spotting the village’s distress call where they spelt out HELP on their playground, HMS Daring brought a medical team from Save The Children to set up clinics around the main villages.
A team of sailors also set to work to repair the local school’s roof which had been completely stripped of its corrugated iron sheets, and cleared the inside of debris and stagnant water. The children have not been able to go to school for more than a week.

This baby goat represents Rosa Aniva’s new sustainable livelihood. Erratic rains, floods and droughts in the Zambezi River floodplains of Mozambique, mean that subsistence farmers like her can no longer rely on a harvest, so they are having to find new sources of income.
But thanks to a climate change adaptation project run by Save the Children with support from the UK government, women like Rosa are being helped to develop alternative, sustainable means of making a living.

Over the past decade, nearly 58 million girls were married before the age of 18. Child marriage is a truly global problem: In Africa, 42 percent of girls are married before turning 18, but it is also prevalent in parts of Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean (in South Asia, for instance, 46 percent of girls are married before turning 18). Child brides often start childbearing early, leading to complications and producing high rates of maternal morbidity and mortality among girls in developing countries. Married girls are often forced to leave school, negatively affecting their ability to work and provide for their families. At the Wilson Center on June 17, 2013, panelists from CARE Ethiopia, Girls Not Brides, the International Center for Research on Women, Population Council, Save the Children, UNICEF, and USAID described current policies and programs working to support young women and delay marriage.
