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.

Mervat, a widowed mother of three girls and two boys, currently lives in a Palestinian refugee camp on the outskirts of Jordan’s capital Amman. The flat Mervat is renting is tiny but costly. The family of six bathes once a week, on the day of the water distribution. Housing prices have risen as the influx of Syrians to Jordan has steadily increased.
‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾
Un rapport publié par le Comité international de secours en janvier 2013 a révélé que les réfugiés syriens interrogés citaient le viol comme principale raison pour laquelle leur famille avait fui le conflit. Mervat, une veuve mère de trois filles et deux garçons, vit actuellement dans un camp de réfugiés palestiniens à la périphérie de la capitale jordanienne, Amman. Le studio que loue Mervat est petit mais son loyer est élevé. Les six membres de la famille prennent un bain une fois par semaine, le jour de la distribution d'eau. L'afflux sans cesse croissant de réfugiés Syriens a poussé les prix des logements à la hausse en Jordanie.

This is a picture of my world - the girl that means more to me than I can put into words
She is everything to me......
My name is Katie Seaborne and I am from North London. I have been working for Save the Children for over two years – eighteen months of those have been on the front line in our programmes around the world: Niger, Senegal, Mali, the Democratic Republic of Congo and now Iraq, where I am supporting our Syrian refugee response. My work always varies, but includes raising funds for our work and communicating on behalf of the families we support – bearing witness to their terrifying ordeals.
I am now starting my second month in northern Iraq and the work is non-stop. Over 160,000 refugees have flooded in to the country, temperatures are over 45 degrees and the needs are enormous. It is incredibly important that aid agencies, such as Save the Children, are here supporting the most vulnerable families.
The humanitarian community is saving lives and supporting recovery and we are very grateful for people’s generosity, worldwide, in funding the work. People in the UK should feel proud of their support to the families who have had their lives torn apart by the devastating conflict that is raging in Syria.
On World Humanitarian Day this year I think the world needs more front-line health workers to tackle the nearly 11 million preventable child deaths that occur every year.
Juli left Honduras with her pregnant mother, her aunt, and her younger sister. They decided to leave to reunite with her grandmother who lives in the United States and whom she had only met on video call.
They first took a bus to reach Mexico and then jumped on 'the beast' – la bestia –, a goods train that crosses the entire country from south to north. They managed to reach the border town of Tijuana, where they settled in a shelter waiting to obtain permission to cross the border.

International Development Secretary Justine Greening pictured visiting a food voucher distribution centre operated by World Vision under the World Food Programme in Lebanon, 9 July 2013.
Spiralling Syrian refugee numbers could overload Lebanon’s stretched infrastructure and heighten regional tensions, International Development Secretary Justine Greening warned today.
Ms Greening was speaking during a visit to Lebanon, where she saw first-hand the impact of ongoing violence in Syria both on refugees and host communities. She announced that the UK will allocate a further £50 million to help both Syrian refugees in Lebanon and Lebanese people affected by the crisis.
The new support from the UK will provide immediate, life-saving help including food and shelter to vulnerable Syrian refugees. Other initiatives could include cash for work programmes for both refugees and vulnerable Lebanese and livelihood protection programmes with vaccinations and feed for Lebanese livestock owners.

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.

“Tarek had become quite aggressive,” says Hiba about her 8-year-old. This is why she started sending her children – 3, 4, 8 and 9 years old – to attend workshops organised by Save the Children. At the workshop, laughter fills the air. Both refugee children and children from the host community mix and get along well. “Now [Tarek] is back to being himself,” says Hiba. “He’s calmer now. At the workshop, they learn to let go of their feelings.”
‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾
«Tarek était devenu assez agressif», déclare Hiba, en parlant de son fils de 8 ans. C'est la raison pour laquelle elle a commencé à envoyer ses enfants (âgés de 3, 4, 8 et 9 ans) à des ateliers organisés par Save the children. Dans ces ateliers, l'ambiance est au rire. Les enfants, originaires tant de Syrie que de Jordanie, s'entendent bien. Le fait de mélanger les enfants réfugiés et les enfants issus de leur communauté d'accueil est important, car cela améliore leur compréhension mutuelle. «Maintenant [Tarek] est redevenu lui-même», déclare Hiba. «Il est plus calme à présent. Lors des ateliers, ils apprennent à exprimer leurs sentiments.»

Oxen are helping members of local association in Mozambique to expand their livelihoods. With training, equipment and cattle from Save the Children, they have increased their planting area and moved away from the floodplains up to the highlands. This gives them a bigger and better harvest.
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.

We often wear material things to protect our body...but little that we know that there are people out there who protect our Spiritual Life...that our essence as human beings, and that is as a Children of God...may still be preserved and defended...and these people teach us to be compassionate...to see greater than the material things that lure our senses and bodily desires...they may be workers behind the enjoyments of those who are more blessed...who needs to be acknowledged for their humility...who truly protects Humanity…
‘Humanity owes the child the best it has to give’ - Eglantyne Jebb, founder of Save the Children UK.
Save the Children UK is an international humanitarian and children’s charity founded in 1919 by sisters Eglantyne Jebb and Dorothy Buxton. Their vision was to make the world a better place for all children. Now over 100 years old the charity has worked across the world delivering emergency relief, health and education provision for children, and advocating for child rights.
In 2019 the Cadbury Research Library, University of Birmingham, started a two-and-a-half-year project, funded by the Wellcome Trust, to catalogue and preserve the charity's archive. The collection consists of 2000 boxes of archival materials, including correspondence, photographs, publications, objects and films, and documents the decisions and activities of the charity. The project has now been completed and the catalogue can be searched via www.calmview.bham.ac.uk.
Items from Save the Children Fund's collection will be used in this online exhibition to explore the charity’s foundation and early activities, its programmes both abroad and at home, and its various fundraising and public engagement initiatives.

Juli is receiving social-emotional care in one of the EU-funded Child Friendly Spaces managed by Save the Children.
These areas are meant to support children, helping them to express and deal with emotions related to the often traumatic migration experience.
Here, Juli can share her thoughts with other children who have similar experiences, like her friend Alan*, who hails from the Mexican region of Chiapas and is also seeking to reach the United States with his family.

“I wish I still had my sisters. That is the first thing I think of when I wake up,” Sorouq says. She was out for fresh air with her sisters on the first day of Ramadan when a bomb exploded in front of them. Her 18-month-old sister Ghalia, whom she was carrying, and her two sisters were killed while she was wounded. Initially introvert after this horrific incident, Sorouq attended workshops by Save the Children and is now able to talk more openly, though some psychological scars take longer to heal than physical ones.
‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾
Sorouq explique qu'elle était sortie prendre l'air avec ses sœurs le premier jour du Ramadan lorsqu'une bombe a explosé devant elles. La bombe l'a blessée du bras jusqu'à l'épaule et a tué Ghalia, sa sœur de 18 mois qu'elle portait dans ses bras, ainsi que ses deux autres sœurs. Après cela, Sorouq s'est refermée sur elle-même. Mais maintenant, après avoir participé à des ateliers de Save the children, elle a envie de parler, même si elle a encore du mal à évoquer ce qui s’est passé. Les cicatrices psychologiques prennent plus de temps à guérir que les séquelles physiques. «J'aimerais tant que mes sœurs soient encore là. C'est la première chose à laquelle je pense quand je me réveille», dit Sorouq.

The health system in the Central African Republic (CAR) – already suffering from a lack of qualified staff and facilities – collapsed immediately following the 2013 coup, and plunged the country into a chronic humanitarian health situation. With many of the population remaining in the bush hiding from the violence, thousands continue to lack any sort of access to basic health services. Additionally, most patients are unable to afford healthcare. Over the last 18 months, 176 000 consultations were provided in health facilities supported by Save the Children and the European Commission, highlighting the dire need for health, especially for vulnerable populations including women and children as well as people affected by HIV, tuberculosis or other neglected tropical diseases and non-communicable diseases.

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.
Mother-of-three Hodon Mohamed holds her 10-month-old daughter Mushtaq, outside the nutrition room at a UK-funded health centre in the Karkaar region of Puntland, Somalia, 3 April 2013.
Mushtaq was suffering from malnutrition, but she has been receiving treatment for 3 months and is now improving. This health centre is supported by Save the Children’s health project in Karkaar, which is funded by UK aid.
Through the project, Save the Children has established networks of 40 community health committees, including traditional birth attendants, elders, local authorities, women and youth groups.

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.
