The Child Health Foundation was established in 1985 as a non-profit, public charity to prevent and treat life-threatening communicable diseases of infants and children in the United States and abroad. The Foundation’s mission is “to save the greatest number of children’s lives at the lowest possible cost.” The Child Health Foundation operate independently, seeking and promoting more effective, easily-delivered and less-expensive methods to prevent illness and death of children, such as oral rehydration therapy to prevent dehydration, immunizations, and breastfeeding.
The organisation’s programs focus on three core areas: Research, Professional Medical Education and Outreach, and Public Education. Recently funded projects supported by the Foundation include a scheme to in Tanzania to make clay pots to protect water from contamination; Improving personal hygiene in the community in India; and establishing rain harvesters at schools in Uganda.

The Global Fund for Children
The Global Fund for Children aims to transform the lives of children on the edges of society—trafficked children, refugees, child laborers—and help them regain their rights and pursue their dreams. Since 1997, the Fund has reached 8 million children worldwide.Global Fund for Children invests in grassroots organizations that enable the most vulnerable children in their communities to thrive. Strategic support helps grantees achieve their vision, become sustainable, and reach even more children in need.
Last year the Global Fund for Children reached 1 million children and aim to reach 10 million by 2015. The Fund’s work has transformed children’s lives around the world with thousands of children going to school instead of to work. Thousands more are protecting themselves from HIV, escaping the bonds of slavery, and getting the childhood they deserve.
Since 1997, we have invested $25.6 million in more than 500 grassroots organizations in 78 countries worldwide. The Fund aims to maximise donors’ investment in the developing world.
Grantees of the Fund will have the entrepreneurial vision and passion to transform their communities. They also prefer to collaborate with organisations that can be classed as home-grown, established, innovative, nimble and resourceful. The Global Fund for Children accepts grant applications all year round. For more information and to apply click here.

I am the Executive Director of a Cameroonian NGO called Strategic Development Initiatives. We are committed to policies of alternative development strategies, which are basically people and environment focused. We are currently working with grassroots women to provide them vocational training skills for income generation within the framework of a small livestock production and development centre. We are also developing low external input technologies especially geared towards enhancing soil fertility, ensuring household food security, combating slash and burn, protecting the environment and producing biogas as a measure to actively fight deforestation and climate change. We are basically empowering women to empower themselves and shed the shackles of traditional marginalization and dependency.
To meaningfully sustain these activities we need at least US$100,000. We would appreciate the collaboration of like minded partners in realizing this amount.
I am a concerned mother staying in Soroti town. I have a team of ten other women behind me and we work together for a common goal. We are looking after (catering) for 22 street children aged 5-13 years.

Kindly assist to help this very desecrate children.
May God bless you for all that you are doing.

Thanks very much for making yourself known to us. We are a community Based Organisation in the town of Kadoma in Mashonaland West Province in Zimbabwe. We work with the communities to provide access to education and health to children in Kadoma urban community particularly to orphans and vulnerable children. Most big NGOs are concentrated in big towns like Harare , Bulawayo etc and Kadoma is one of the marginalised small towns but it needs great help. We have a very big vision but our hurdle is funding. So far we are paying fees for 10 primary school children and the funds are from the Director’s pocket but there is still a substantial number of children who need help. In one of the Stakeholders meeting last year we were the second organisation which was helping the needy children with fees which shows the great need in this town. Kadoma is an agricultural and mining town and the newly emerged problem of climate change has also increased the number of the needy children since they rely mainly on the harvest from nearby farms where their fathers work. Most of the mines closed down and the compounds are now dormitory towns providing shelter for those involved in prostitution thereby increasing HIV and Aids cases both in adults and children.
I am the secretary of Grace Pentecostal Church Ministries in Uganda. We have many churches in Uganda and Kenya. Our church is involved in Spritual ,physical, and social welfare of Gods people and to that effect we are registred under the NGO board guidelines.

WE REQUEST AGRANT OF $ 76,923 WHICH IS EQUIVALENT to u.shs. 200,000,000.
The grant will be spent to cater for education, shelter, food, clothing and medical care of the targeted groups :- Total opharns, street children, and those also badly in need.
Our Development office is located in our main church 6 km off Soroti town along old Mbale road opposite Soroti core Primary Teachers college.

Although this may be a new organisation, the success of the organisation is certain because it is anchored on the skills of students from a renowned university in the country who are keen to translate their theory into practice. Moreover, the organisation was formed by Social Ecology students, the organisation just need money to jumpstart its activities. Donors need to put their trust in us and give us a chance to expess what we learnt at college into practice.

Thanks for your concern towards the well being of our country but one thing is that your agent here in Uganda are not fulfilling your goal. The terms of grant application are so complected for one to go through. It will be better to identify specific organizations and implement the project under your supervision. What I mean is never go through the so called country coordinators and leave all the responsibilities in their hands but you move with them to the particular organizations’ offices and share with the staff about the way forward.
Thanks

A great number of youth in our rural communities drop out of school every year and many others have never seen inside of classroom at all. Many of them at the age of 15 years and above, have no hope to go to school unless guided.
Our strategy is to construct a rural Technical Training Center and a rural Agricultural Training Center for Tropical Agriculture. We are sure these courses will improve their lives.
We require at least $123,000. Please help us.
