Health
270 million children have no access to health care. 500 million children have no access to sanitation. 400 million children do not have access to safe drinking water.
Although the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that everyone has the right to life millions of children around the world are too poor to sustain life. They lack all the essentials necessary to maintain their small bodies. In many areas of the world there is no healthcare available whatsoever.
Oftentimes children who do not have shoes die from a small cut on the foot due to infection. A life easily spared for a small bit of antibiotic cream. Throughout the world children are dying everyday unnecessarily from preventable causes.
Dedicated health-care professionals world-wide turn mothers with sick and suffering children away due to a lack of medicine, medical supplies and medical equipment. This in a world where millions of dollars worth of these very same materials are discarded into landfills every day in richer countries.
Bless the Children helps children receive the medical attention they need by managing the shipment of 40-foot sea containers to hospitals and clinics in developing countries. These containers are filled with items such as: hospital sterilizers, infant incubators, hospital beds, wheelchairs, sterile gloves, syringes, anesthesia units and surgical packs.
Our efforts to heal children also include establishing clinics in remote areas, hosting medical teams to areas where there is no health care available and sponsoring children for special medical care and life-saving surgery.
