Categories: Community Education Environment Health International . Help families in an Indian slum keep their children healthier. Preventable illnesses took a heavy toll on the poor and uneducated residents of Janta Colony, a slum of Chandigarh, India. With the help of Community Health Promoters trained by DIR, local people are developing the knowledge and skills to improve their own conditions. By learning to prepare nutritious foods, getting their children vaccinated, cleaning up trash dumps, and obtaining health and sanitation services, Janta families and DIR have cut the childhood death rate nearly in half. $3800 will enable DIR to train one Health Promoter to work with 200 families for one year.

Categories: Children and Youth Civil Rights Environment Health Human Rights International . Directly-elected legislators can relate to one another about the local challenges and opportunities they share, as well as questions of national and global interest. When they agree, they can take collaborative action, not through cumbersome formal treaty processes but directly through parallel legislation – identical where possible and differing where particular circumstances require. Help support a unique and innovative first-time meeting of legislators from Africa to discuss the most important topics facing the world today!!!

Categories: Animals Arts and Culture Children and Youth Community Education Environment Human Rights . Kids learn through hands-on, sensory experiences. They take their early childhood experiences and foundation of skills and apply them throughout the rest of their adult lives. A local charter school in the Phoenix area is hoping to accomplish this idea by creating an arts and sciences complex on their campus, but lack the funding to move forward. Once this building is operable it will train elementary school kids how to properly care for animals and learn the early primer for becoming a veterinarian.
