Greetings!
As we wind down our Back-to-School campaign, we are happy to inform you that more than 3,500 backpacks have now been delivered. Although we didn’t achieve our 5,000-backpack donation goal yet, this is a new record for us as we have almost
2x
the number that we delivered last year. If you did not participate and would still like to get involved, please
donate here
and we will make sure your donation goes towards purchasing school supplies for students in need.
In the coming weeks, we will begin working on our
Thanksgiving campaign
where
we provide food basket to families in need around the world
. This year, the situation has worsened due to the devaluation of the Iranian Rial in comparison to the US Dollar. We are working with local contacts to help children of Afghanistan, Cambodia, Myanmar, Syria, Uganda, and the United States. This year, we plan to distribute food to people in need throughout the United States as well! If you are interested in participating, please drop us a note
here
so we can organize an event in your neck of the wood.
Also, the Winter Holidays are not far, and this is the time of year we need your help the most. Since nearly 1/3 of all charitable donations are given in the month of December,
we are counting on you to make this year-end campaign the most successful one thus far
. You can help us by introducing Child Foundation to your friends and colleagues and inviting them to participate in our end-of-the-year campaign.
As mentioned previously, the economic situation had worsened in Afghanistan and Iran and we are receiving more files of children in need of assistance. Please visit our
waiting list
and sponsors a child.
With only $1/day, you can become the sponsor of a child who needs a small push to become a successful and independent person.
Let’s do it!
