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.

When Roster, age 4, began attending preschool in Malawi, she didn’t speak and was recovering from the loss of her mother to AIDS. Thanks to funding for an innovative education program that helps children express themselves through drama, art and imaginary play, Roster spoke her first word–“baby”—when her teacher placed a teddy bear on her back. Save the Children continues to pilot new projects that creatively engage kids in need in new ways.
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.
Syria's children are in desperate need of help. In Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq hundreds of thousands of refugee children face a bitter winter of sub-zero temperatures. Many live in flimsy tents or in buildings with no heating, electricity or hot water and have little or no winter clothing.
Save the Children is helping children recover from their experiences within Syria and across the region, to make sure they can access education and to ensure that families have the basic necessities they need to survive including healthcare, warm clothes, nutritious food and winter shelter materials.
In all health facilities, children under five years old are systematically screened for acute malnutrition. Severe cases are admitted immediately for treatment. All caregivers receive counselling on the specific nutritional needs of infants and young children. Humanitarian agencies believe that in 2015 over 32 000 children in CAR will suffer from severe acute malnutrition, and 78 000 children from moderate acute malnutrition.

Ines, 8, (outside her home in a makeshift tented community in Lebanon's Beka'a valley that has become home to some 150 families who have fled the conflict in neighboring Syria. Ines arrived here with her family 6 months ago. The families here live with little protection from the elements in homes made of plastic sheeting and scavenged materials, such as burlap sacks and old billboard banners. The cold is already setting in and many of the children lack proper winter clothes and footwear to adequately protect them from the cold.. Ines said, "It gets very cold, especially when it rains. At night also, every night, is very cold.
When it's very, very cold my hands and feet start hurting. I use a blanket at night when my hands hurt.".Save the Children has launched an appeal to raise funds to meet the desperate need of refugee families ahead of the cold winter months. Funds raised will got to improving shelter, providing heating fuel and stoves, and other essentials such as blankets and warm clothes to protect the children and their families from the bitter cold.
Over 2.5 million people have been displaced within Syria by ongoing fighting. More than 400,000, registered refugees are now in neighbouring countries, more than half of which are children, and the UN is expecting that figure to reach 700,000 by the end of the year. Save the Children believes the true number of refugees is likely to be much higher.

“I always feel any charity to do with children is the main and most important project where anyone can help. We can make a real difference as we are helping at the core of life – where people are at the beginning of their lives, when learning and adapting is the easiest and the best results are seen. They are the future!” – Mario Testino
Over the past 90 years Save the Children have helped achieve vital breakthroughs for children and have saved millions of lives with the help of our supporters. A quarter of donations received come from gifts in wills - they are the very backbone of Save the Children, allowing us to save lives in emergencies, campaign for children’s rights and improve their futures through long-term development work.
In June 2014, armed groups clashed in and around Bambari leading to the displacement of over 40 000 people. While many sought refuge in neighbouring communities, settlements for displaced people were also established in Bambari. Save the Children set up two mobile clinics supporting health workers in providing daily medical consultations to displaced children and their families. The living conditions in the camps are precarious and many suffer from waterborne diseases.

The global humanitarian organization Save the Children honored Senator Richard R. Durbin (D-IL) (seen here on right) with its “Congressional Champion for Real and Lasting Change Award” for 2010 at the Hyatt Regency in Washington, DC on May 5, 2010.
The award, presented by Save the Children’s Board of Trustees member and former Senate Majority leader, Bill Frist, MD, (seen here on left) is bestowed on members of the U.S. Congress who show outstanding leadership, extraordinary commitment and vigorous support for helping children in need around the world.
On the eve of Mother’s Day, Senator Durbin, was recognized for the leading role he played in championing the “Global Child Survival Act of 2009,” which seeks to protect the lives of millions of newborns, children and mothers who die each year needlessly from preventable and treatable causes. Save the Children also acknowledged Sen. Durbin’s support of key legislative initiatives that address global hunger and other threats to children.
