Child Health Foundation

Millions of children without clean water, immunizations, health care -- subject to malaria, diarrhea, respiratory diseases and malnutrition -- need help. We can help them with your help.

Why do we exist?

Our mission is to improve and save the most children’s lives at the lowest possible cost. We do this by supporting research and service projects that take low-cost preventive and treatment procedures to children all over the world. These include oral rehydration therapy which is the simple solution that treats severe dehydration, the second highest cause of childhood death globally, immunizations, and breastfeeding.

What have you accomplished?

Thousands of children are helped every year with our support. For example, for the past three years we have been supporting a project in Bangladesh where, previous to our having tubewells dug for the villagers to obtain safe water, the mothers had to tie their very young children to the legs of the bed to make sure they were safe while they walked very far to bring water from a dirty river. With safe water the incidence of childhood illness drastically decreased. So far we have installed 21 of these wells, supplying over 3,000 people, about 1500 of them children.
