About The Project:

A severely malnourished child feeds himself nutritionally balanced milk in a nutrition unit in Niger.
The outlook for many children who have been brought to health centres and hospitals across Niger is positive.
However, around 4.6 million people in West Africa face the threat of imminent starvation as a result of food shortages caused by poor rains and harvests. This includes 3.3 million people in Niger – one of the poorest countries in the world. UKaid, from the Department for International Development, is helping UN agencies and charities on the ground to deliver vital food aid and treat malnourished children.

Abeer, 3, stands inside the prefabricated hut in which she and her family live in Za'atari refugee camp in Jordan as YouTuber Lex Croucher visited the camp as part of the Save The Children's 'Save Syria's Children Campaign' on Monday 26 August 2013.
Around 130,000 refugees are currently living in the camp, over half of whom are children.
Save The Children distributes food to all the camps' residents, which includes distributing half a million pierces of bread every morning.
Save The Children also provides child-friendly spaces and multi-activity spaces for children and young people to receive psycho social support, come to terms with their situation through play, foster a sense of community and learn new skills

This little girl was making the rounds around the fishermen on the beach, who were shaking out there day's catch from their nets, collecting any stray fish that got thrown onto the beach in her red bucket :)
Save the Children has set-up mobile health and nutrition teams that support targeted health facilities. Every week (or more often if it is needed and if the security situation permits), they visit the supported facilities, assisting and coaching the local health staff to improve the quality of provided healthcare. Half of the patients are children; children mostly suffer from easily treatable diseases such as malaria (up to 60% of consultations), pneumonia and diarrhea.

This sign was placed by Save the Children USA near a pond that was safe for household use like bathing, doing the dishes, and washing clothes - but (like most ponds) is unsuitable for drinking.
Pond water is a great source of drinking water because of its low iron content. In this region, Save the Children USA builds something called a Pond Sand Filter which helps turn pond water into safe and clean drinkable water.

"La Storia è un dramma costituito da un numero infinito di atti... per lo più di violenza; un cammino ininterrotto di progresso che ha portato dall'indigeno che fa incetta delle teste dei nemici uccisi all'esperto in lavaggi del cervello, dalla cerbottana al missile, dalla legge del più forte al diritto, che altro non è se non la legge del più forte mascherata in articoli e codicilli, di trattato di pace in trattato di pace, di rovina in rovina."

Bangkok. A lot of families, arriving from north and east of Thailand, use to live in shanty towns just near the railroads.
As the town grows up and new buildings and commercial centres are built, they have to move farther and farther from the centre.
Making light of a serious subject:
On Friday 13th December the charity 'Save the Children' ask people to make the world a better place for children by wearing their best festive jumper and making a donation of a £1. There's still time to donate that £1 by texting WOOLLY to 70050. And start knitting your woolly for next year!

Dr. Neil Boothby speaking at a press conference in Geneva to launch the "Mimimum Standards for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action
In humanitarian situations across the world, children are likely to make up half or more of the population affected by conflicts or disasters. On October 29, 2012, the Child Protection Working Group (CPWG) launched a long-awaited set of interagency Minimum Standards for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action developed as common guidelines for the global humanitarian community. USAID’s Neil Boothby, UNICEF’s Annette Lyth, and Mike Penrose from Save the Children discussed the new standards at a press conference at the United Nations Office at Geneva. Listen to the press briefing at www.unog.ch/80256EDD006B9C2E/httpPressConferences?ReadFor...

KINSHASA, Avril 12 -- L’Agence Américaine pour le Développement International (USAID) annonce le lancement d’un programme à fort impact pour sauver le plus grand nombre de vies des femmes et des enfants qui meurent de causes évitables en République Démocratique du Congo (RDC). Il s’agit du Programme de l’USAID pour la survie de la mère et de l’enfant (PSME), et en Anglais, Maternal and Child Survival Program (MCSP).
Ce programme est un accord de coopération de cinq années à l’échelle mondiale, visant à mettre en œuvre et à soutenir des interventions sanitaires à fort impact. L’accord cible 24 pays hautement prioritaires, y compris la RDC. L’objectif ultime est de mettre fin à la mortalité maternelle et infantile due à des causes évitables en l’espace d’une génération. Le Programme va s’assurer que l’ensemble des femmes, nouveau-nés et enfants les plus démunis ont un accès équitable à des soins de santé de qualité.
En réalité l’objet de ce programme n’est pas nouveau. Il s’agit d’un renforcement et d’une intensification des activités que l’USAID met en œuvre en RDC depuis plusieurs années, comme contribution à la demande mondiale faite aux 24 pays susmentionnés pour accélérer la réduction de la mortalité chez les enfants et les femmes. En effet, le gros des investissements du gouvernement Américain en RDC va dans le secteur de la santé. En 2015, cet investissement s’est élevé à plus de $350 millions de dollars dans le secteur du développement et de l’humanitaire. Chaque année, une enveloppe de près de $150 millions de dollars est allouée au renforcement des services de santé.
Parmi les résultats déjà obtenus:
- 150.000 vies sauvées parmi les enfants dans les zones de santé appuyées par l’USAID au cours des trois dernières années, ce qui représente 25 pourcent de la cible établie par le pays ;
- 223.500 grossesses non désirées ont été évitées dans les zones de santé appuyées par l’USAID au cours des cinq dernières années.

Mutsmarathon in Beesd voor Save the Children
BEESD - De Dutch Crochet haakgroep houdt zaterdag 9 februari speciaal voor de breicampagne van Save the Children een mutsmarathon in Beesd. Tijdens de mutsmarathon worden er gedurende 12 uur zoveel mogelijk mutsen gebreid of gehaakt voor de baby's in Centraal-Azië. De mutsmarathon vindt plaats op de eerste etage bij Theo van der Perk Mechanisatie Bedrijf B.V. aan de Parkweg 95 in Beesd, die deze locatie boven het bedrijf kosteloos ter beschikking heeft gesteld voor dit goede doel.
Op de dag zelf wordt er steeds gebreid in shifts van 3 uur. Per shift zijn er 70 stoelen beschikbaar. De eerste shift start om 9:00 uur en de laatste eindigt om 21:00 uur, waarna de mutsjes in ontvangst worden genomen door Save the Children.
Aanmelden kan via mutsmarathon@gmail.com; geef daarbij duidelijk aan om welke shift het gaat. Vergeet niet om zelf breipennen/haaknaalden mee te nemen, er is wol beschikbaar van diverse leveranciers maar neem voor de zekerheid toch ook even een extra bolletje mee. Thee, koffie en broodje worden door Most Wanted Catering tegen gereduceerde prijzen aangeboden.
Dit nog nooit vertoonde event is een onderdeel van de populaire brei-actie van Save the Children: "Jong en oud haken en breien mutsjes voor baby's in Centraal-Azië"
