You may seldom think about children who live with constant diarrhea due to foul water and poor sanitation. You and I are so blessed to have clean, drinkable water in our homes. And we have bathrooms with toilets and sinks. Soap is readily available. Nutritious food is easily obtained. These are simple things that we often take for granted. Yet for much of the world, these are unattainable luxuries.
ADRA’s child survival programs teach the importance of clean water, of keeping water covered, and of bathing and keeping children clean. We teach mothers a simple intervention called oral rehydration therapy. This solution combining water, salts, and a form of sugar saves the lives of millions of children from the ravages of diarrhea.
ADRA’s child survival programs mean the difference between life and death. That is a harsh reality, yet it is one that you can make happen. Through ADRA’s programs worldwide, you have the power to save a child’s life.
Your support makes the difference. Children whom you may never hold in your arms are held in your heart when you make a gift to ADRA’s child survival programs. What’s more, whatever amount you send today will be matched fivefold, allowing you to help five times as many children live healthy lives.
You and I, who are blessed in so many ways, have the opportunity to share and make a difference in the lives of those living without hope.
