DID YOU KNOW...
Did you know...every minute, FOUR 4 children, die in India because of lack of healthcare, safe drinking water and hunger?
Did you know...Worldwide, it is estimated that more than 15 million children have been orphaned as a result of AIDS. More than 12 million of these children live in Sub-Saharan Africa?
Did you know... in Pakistan, child labour and prostitution are rampant, in the MILLIONS!? YES, I SAID MILLIONS!
Did you know... thousands of children are kidnapped or sold from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and other East Asian countries to be used as camel jockeys in many parts of Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and United Arab Emirates?
Did you know...one third of babies born around the world each year (48 million children) are not registered. Because of this they have no legal rights and are vulnerable to trafficking, exploitation and abuse. YOU CAN register a child for only $15.00!
Did you know...you CAN help?

PLAN has no religious, political or government affiliations...so that means they help, NO STRINGS ATTACHED. That means no "converting" to a specific religion or implementing plans to benefit local political parties.

ITEMS ACHIEVED SO FAR
Thanks for helping to raise $428 in 2011!
A Girl Sponsored in Bangladesh
This girl brings home her education and feeling of self esteem to her 2 sisters & mother. Education helps fight poor hygiene & sickness, abuse, and intolerance thus combating violence. It also shows girls how much they CAN accomplish and they go on to acquire employment thus combating severe poverty. Many of these girls start their own small businesses, go into teaching, or become health care workers.
NEW ITEMS/GOALS
We'll be selling items with special goals in mind.
3 Baby Chicks for $15.00- Many of our RAVEN items will benefit this goal!
They are fuzzy, fluffy and just plain adorable. But more importantly, once they start laying eggs, chicks are an instant source of income, often for women, who sell the eggs, breed the chickens and help provide for their families. They are also an important teaching tool for young girls to learn livestock management skills that they too can use to make a living. This tiny gift offers an inkling that life can get better. * Ethereal likes this idea because the chickens will also eat up many insects and parasitic creepy crawlies! Feeding the flock AND feeding their keepers! AWESOME!
6 Rabbits for $35.00- Many of our FERTILITY items will benefit this goal!
Rabbits can breed litters of up to 10 bunnies every 31 days. Think about it. For less than what you'd spend on coffee in a week, you can provide a family with six rabbits, a business that will keep them self-sufficient, and an income that will keep their family fed and their kids healthy and in school. Hop to it!
