Pidahouse was a young student in Grade Six when I first met him. He explained that, although he survived Cyclone Sidr, his school was destroyed. Teachers used the few remaining benches and taught outside the classrooms. Pidahouse stands next to his desk where he sits during school hours.

Save the Children is one of few international humanitarian agencies working in Kyrgyzstan.

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.

Una bambina dolcissima ma davvero sveglia, è una "zingara" e dovevo stare attento: mi ha rubato il cuore. Mia madre mi ha sempre detto di non giocare con gli zingari nel bosco.

In 1920 Eglantyne Jebb helped to found the Save the Children International Union, which brought together child welfare organisations from across the world and provided a forum for international communication and co-operation. The Union's member organisations were united by their support for the Declaration of Geneva - the first declaration of child rights.

Taken by young 12 year old Alexander. This is an interesting scene of two of our students being watched by a huelepega (not sure I am spelling it right but it means glue sniffer). Glue is the drug that is most affordable thus most popular. It kills brain cells and rapidly ages the person who falls victim to it. This is one of the things we try to prevent our kids from getting involved in even though it is right out their door. Another probably obvous issue is the crimes that can occur because of this drug. Myron, our guest instructor for two days experienced our first attempted robbery of a camera from another glue sniffer that very same day. www.empowermentinternational.org
Limon lives in the Rayerbazar slum in Bangladesh. He lives one room that he shares with his whole family.
In the slums there are 2 toilets per 200 hundred people, one communal kitchen and 1 wash area.
It cost $30 a month to rent this room - that's alot of money when the only work you can get is as a rickshaw driver or cleaner.

As well as responding to manmade disasters such as conflict, the Save the Children Fund (SCF) also provided relief and support in response to natural disasters, including earthquakes, floods, and famine. One of the most high profile emergencies in the 1980s was the famine in the Horn of Africa, which badly affected Ethiopia and Sudan. By this time SCF was one of the largest international NGOs, and was involved in collaborative work from an early stage to provide relief efforts.
Image: This article from 1984, published in the Fund's magazine 'The World’s Children', highlights the situation of those suffering from the famine as crops failed for a second year in Ethiopia. The magazine provided information to the charity's supporters about their work overseas and in the UK. Finding number: SCF/P/2/WOR/61/3
