Mon, 20 Aug 2007 17:12:30 +0000 http://www.bringlight.com/projects/show/74 Charity: Lambda Legal. Categories: Children and Youth Civil Rights Human Rights Social Services . There are roughly 250,000 children in the United States being raised by same-sex couples. But the rights of gay and lesbian parents vary widely among states. Only about half of all states permit second-parent adoptions by the unmarried partner of an existing legal parent, and in other states, the courts have ruled against such adoptions. In many cases, state courts have terminated the parenting rights of mothers and fathers simply because they are lesbian or gay. This leaves tens of thousands of children without legal ties to the parents who love them and want raise and protect them. This project will help fund Lambda Legal's broad-based civil rights efforts to ensure all families and children are treated equally.

Categories: Children and Youth Community Education International . Room to Read’s Room to Grow Girls' Scholarship Program has an immediate and direct impact on the lives of thousands of girls in the developing world. An education provides security and support to girls who often grow up in very uncertain environments and empowers them to make informed life decisions. A solid education beginning in the early years is the key ingredient for improved status for women, which provides a ripple of positive effects throughout society. Through this project, you can fund girls' scholarships in Cambodia, India, Laos, Nepal, Sri Lanka or Vietnam. These long-term, holistic scholarships make it possible for a girl, who would otherwise not have access to an education, to attend school through the secondary level. You can fund a one year girl's scholarship for $250 or a ten year girl's scholarship for $2,500.
