What we're about

The Child Saver is about one thing, and one thing only: bringing awareness about the thousands of suffering and dying children across the world. While there are many organizations that attempt to bring this problem to the public eye, UNICEF being notable, there is simply not enough being done to effectively combat the issue of child suffering in the world. The internet is the new wave of communication and with it comes the potential to spread knowledge about the important, yet little publicized world problems. Each day over 26,500 children die of causes that have had solutions for decades; kids starve in countries that have no food, curable diseases ravage and decimate populations with no doctors, and children have been exploited even further by becoming warring countries new soldiers. This can simply not continue.

This issue is infinitely important. How can people sit by when children-who are all innocent-are being enslaved and killed? Childhood is the only time when people can truly be innocent, and so many children are being robbed of the opportunity to truly experience and enjoy life as it should be. They are instead working to feed themselves and they're families; somewhere between 60 and 115 million children work in India alone. In China, children work 10-14 hour days for half the wage of adults. And while the United States does not actively employ child laborers, it is through child labor that the majority of goods sold in the US are produced.

Our priorities are completely skewed-for the price of one missile a school of starving children could eat lunch every day for five years. One out of every twelve children is malnourished. One in four people live on less than a dollar a day. Children are effected by all of this more than anyone else.
It is our purpose, and our responsibility, to raise awareness about this issue, and to draw support from all different peoples and groups. Through this support we can begin to make a change in the world, for the better. Not for ourselves, but for those we leave behind.
