HELP (Hope, Educate, Love and Protect)
http://helpchildren.orgWe believe it is every child’s birthright to receive hope for a better future, education to grow, unconditional love, and protection from disease and illness. We address Malawi’s teacher shortage by pairing government teachers with local assistant teachers and international volunteer teachers. With a strong emphasis on sustainable development, we strive to transform primary (elementary) schools into epicenters of social and economic development. Our partnership with the socially-conscious tourism agency Wilderness Safaris helps us to bring our vision of rural development to the most remote regions in Africa.
Smile Squared
http://smilesquared.comDuring a humanitarian trip to Central America, the founders of Smile Squared saw how much dental health impacts a child's life. Kids across the globe lack the necessary dental hygiene to maintain quality health and self-esteem. In hopes of giving every child the opportunity for clean, healthy teeth, Smile Squared was born. Our “Buy One, Give One” philosophy ensures the purchase you make has a direct impact on the world. Anytime you buy a Smile Squared toothbrush, we’ll send one to a child in need. Together, we can take a small step for big change.
