CHILD SPONSORSHIP: THROUGH THE CHILD SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM, WORLD'S CHILDREN SENT MONETARY AID IN THE AMOUNT OF 281,670 FOR THE CARE OF APPROXIMATELY 813 CHILDREN SPONSORED IN 30 ORPHANAGES IN INDIA, ETHIOPIA, AND GUATEMALA. THIS SUPPORT ENSURES THAT CHILDREN LIVING IN THE ORPHANAGES WE SUPPORT RECEIVE NUTRITIOUS FOOD, CLEAN & WARM CLOTHES, MEDICAL CARE, A GOOD EDUCATION, AND A SAFE AND LOVING ENVIRONMENT. HEALTHY CHILD AND MEDICAL FUND: IN 2021, WORLD'S CHILDREN SENT 46,845 FOR CHILDREN'S HEALTH NEEDS. THIS INCLUDED 6,300 FOR SOAP, MASKS, AND HAND SANITIZER FOR PREVENTION OF COVID-19 AND 34,500 TO HELP PAY MEDICAL BILLS FOR CHILDREN AND ADMINISTRATORS WHO WERE IN THE HOSPITAL WITH COVID-19. IT ALSO INCLUDED 2,145 TO SUPPORT THE HEALTHY GIRL INITIATIVE AT BALAVIKASITA ORPHANAGE IN INDIA THAT HELPS GIRLS GOING THROUGH PUBERTY. THE GIRLS RECEIVED EDUCATION AND SUPPORT, SUPPLIES, ADDED NUTRITION, AND DOCTOR VISITS. THIS SUCCESSFUL PILOT PROJECT BEGAN IN THE FALL OF 2016. WORLD'S CHILDREN ALSO SENT 1,950 FOR NEEDED MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AT BALAVIKASITHA ORPHANAGE AND 2,000 FOR ADVANCE PURCHASE OF MEDICAL SUPPLIES AT BRIDGE OF HOPE ORPHANAGE, A HOME FOR CHILDREN AFFECTED BY HIV, DURING A TIME OF POLITICAL UNREST IN ETHIOPIA. SCHOLARSHIPS: WORLD'S CHILDREN AIMS FOR SUCCESSFUL OUTCOMES THROUGH OUR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM FOR DISADVANTAGED YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN. IN 2021, WORLD'S CHILDREN PROVIDED SCHOLARSHIPS FOR 278 STUDENTS FOR A TOTAL AMOUNT OF 68,150 IN AID. THIS INCLUDES CHILDREN WHO COME UP THROUGH OUR SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM AND OTHER NEEDY STUDENTS AT TWO NURSING COLLEGES WHERE WE SUPPORT THE MOST VULNERABLE STUDENTS. IN 2021, 98 STUDENTS GRADUATED WITH DEGREES IN NURSING, ENGINEERING, BANKING AND ACCOUNTING, COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY, TEACHING AND VOCATIONAL TRAINING. PREVENTION OF CHILD TRAFFICKING PROJECT IS A PROJECT STARTED IN APRIL 2017 WITH THE GOAL OF MAKING VILLAGES 100% SAFE FOR GIRLS AND WOMEN BY CREATING COMMUNITY PROTECTION. SINCE THE PROJECT BEGAN, THE FIVE-MEMBER STAFF HAVE EDUCATED 120,000 ADULTS AND CHILDREN LIVING IN 241 VILLAGES, AND 16,800 GIRLS AND BOYS IN 131 SCHOOLS IN THIS REGION OF TELANGANA, INDIA. PREVENTION CAN BE CREATED THROUGH EDUCATION THAT TEACHES HOW TRAFFICKERS DUPE WOMEN OR SIMPLY SNATCH UNWATCHED GIRLS. THE GOAL WAS TO STOP CHILD TRAFFICKING IN THIS TARGETED AREA, WHICH HAS A TOTAL POPULATION OF ABOUT 151,000 PEOPLE. 182 VILLAGES NOW HAVE ALL PREVENTION OF TRAFFICKING SAFETY MEASURES IN PLACE. THE FMM SOCIAL SERVICE SOCIETY IN WARANGAL, INDIA FACILITATES THIS PROJECT. WE HAVE WORKED WITH THEM FOR SEVERAL DECADES AND WE CURRENTLY SUPPORT FIVE ORPHANAGES THAT THEY OPERATE. THE PROJECT IS CURRENTLY TARGETING THREE DISTRICTS IN TELANGANA, INDIA WITH A TOTAL POPULATION OF 393,629 LIVING IN BOTH RURAL AND URBAN AREAS. IN 2021, WORLD'S CHILDREN PROVIDED 14,142 FOR THIS IMPORTANT PROJECT. PROJECTS: WORLD'S CHILDREN ALSO PROVIDED 149,553 FOR SPECIAL PROJECTS TO IMPROVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE AT THE ORPHANAGES WE SUPPORT. THESE PROJECTS POSITIVELY AFFECTED THE 813 SPONSORED CHILDREN AND OVER 2,000 UNSPONSORED CHILDREN LIVING AT THESE ORPHANAGES AND ENJOYING THE BENEFITS OF THE PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS WE SUPPORT. THESE PROJECTS AT VARIOUS ORPHANAGES INCLUDED: A NEW TRANSPORT VAN, A NEW STUDY HALL, NEW BATHING ROOMS, A BATHROOM AND KITCHEN RENOVATION, A NEW COMPOUND WALL, NEW TILE FLOORING, WATER AND ELECTRICAL REPAIRS, A WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM, A NEW REFRIGERATOR, A NEW WASHING MACHINE, AND MATTRESSES AND BEDDING. TECHNOLOGY FOR EDUCATION: DURING THE PANDEMIC SHUTDOWN IN INDIA, SCHOOLS WERE CLOSED, AND CHILDREN WERE EXPECTED TO ATTEND CLASSES REMOTELY USING COMPUTERS AND SMARTPHONES. UNFORTUNATELY, MANY OF THE CHILDREN IN ORPHANAGES DID NOT HAVE THE EQUIPMENT TO DO THIS AND WERE GETTING BEHIND IN THEIR CLASSES BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT ATTEND REMOTELY. WORLD'S CHILDREN PROVIDED 23,858 FOR COMPUTERS, LAPTOPS, TABLETS, PROJECTORS, PRINTERS, AND SMARTPHONES TO ALLOW CHILDREN IN ORPHANAGES TO ATTEND THEIR CLASSES REMOTELY AND KEEP UP WITH THEIR PEERS IN SCHOOL.
