Five Reasons to Support Our Foundation

 

 

FIGHTING HUNGER - every 3.5 seconds a person dies of hunger, 75% of

them are children!! TRF Maternal & Child Health Area of Focus helps fight

this staggering statistic. By using District Simplified Grants and District

Grants we can fight hunger in our own communities as well.

 

REDUCING CHILD MORTALITY - According to the World Health

Organization, 1.8 million children die of diarrhea every year, making it the

second leading cause of death among children under five. Proper sanitation

can reduce the rate of child mortality in many communities by up to a

third. TRF Water & Sanitation Area of Focus is the most used by FVP

Districts.

 

PROMOTING PEACE AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION - The first Area

of Focus is Peace & Conflict Prevention/Resolution. This is the one area

that will take the longest to institute but will have the greatest longest range

effect. Creating an environment for peace.

 

BASIC EDUCATION AND LITERACY - Education helps rebuild lives

whether in our own communities or in developing nations. The Basic

Education & Literacy Area of Focus can be as small as reading to students to

as large as educating a nation through training teachers and supplying

materials.

 

POLIO ERADICATION - Our number one priority. And we are winning.

As of 20 July 2011 there has been only 1 case in India! There have been 274

cases worldwide compared to 861 in the same time period in 2010. Imagine

a world without Polio!

ENOUGH!
