Year in Review: 2014 was a great year, thanks to you

Changed Children’s Lives
254 disabled children in Afghanistan, Cambodia, Indonesia and Pakistan are walking for the very first time in their lives, thanks to you. Mead Welles, co-founder of A Leg To Stand On, used our funding to provide prosthetic limbs, mobility aids and more for children suffering from a limb disability.
171 trafficked girls are no longer trapped in brothels in India, thanks to you. Triveni Acharya used our funding to rescue trafficked children, shelter them in safe houses, and give them the individual care they need to recover.
649 disadvantaged children in South Africa are thriving in school, thanks to you. Chaeli Mycroft used our funding to develop her early childhood development program, empowering children with and without disabilities with the skills they need to succeed in school and embrace each other’s unique differences.
126 abandoned children in Haiti have 24/7 shelter, food, medical care, and access to an education, thanks to you. Susie Krabacher used our funding to help some of Haiti’s most vulnerable children, giving them the chance to grow and reach their full potential.
Traveled
Last April, our Co-Founders traveled to Rwanda to see the long-term impact of our funding. They visited Honoree Jessica Markowitz who introduced them to 40 girls whose lives have been changed forever, thanks to your help. Read about our upcoming trip >>
