This holiday season, give a gift to Helping Children Worldwide in honor of a family member or loved one! You can designate your donation to the following: Mercy Hospital Medical Care, Child Rescue Centre Family Support and Education, or Mercy Hospital Village Outreach.
MERCY MEDICAL CARE
26,000 children die every year of treatable diseases like malaria and measles, and the average life expectancy in Sierra Leone is 50 years. Merch Hospital provides medical care regardless of ability to pay. $25, $50, or $100 will provide life-saving medical treatment to a patient at Mercy Hospital.
CRC FAMILY SUPPORT AND EDUCATION
Families struggling due to extreme poverty, illiteracy and lacy of opportunity can be strengthened by participation in the Child Rescue Centre's family strengthening program, including counseling, education, and microfinance training. $25 will provide a school uniform and supplies for a student, $50 will provide a full semester of school fees and case management, and $100 will provide parent education and microfinance training.
MERCY VILLAGE OUTREACH
Babies and infants don't have to succumb to malnutrition when they can be diagnosed and treated through Mercy Hospital's Nutrition Program and new mothers don't have to go without care after giving birth. $25 will provide formula for an infant or antenatal care for a lactating mother; $50 will provide 3 infants with nutrition supplements for a month; and $100 will feed a malnourished toddler for six months, so that they can survive and thrive.
