Grants

Three of the 2007 Innovative Small Grants have been awarded for the health and well being of children to organizations in the United States, three to India, and one each to Uganda, Kenya, and Pakistan In addtion to these we also funded four others for purely humanitarian puposes. These went to help children in India (3) and Uganda. These thirteen were selected from over a hundred proposals submitted and reviewed by our grant committee of health experts. The reviewers look for projects which employ innovative methods to improve and save children's lives, and then award them up to $5,000 which, especially in developing countries, is a small fortune.

Two of the grants to United States organizations will be carried out in other countries; one in Lesotho to work on prevention of HIV/AIDS and one in Ghana to promote sanitary habits in school children. Among the others are a study on mocronutrient- fortified salts to prevent anemia and blindness and programs to improve clean water availability and prevent malaria. You will be reading the reports of these projects in future newsletters. In this one are the reports of completed Small Grant programs.

We are actively seeking sponsors for the other ten projects that were selected but are presently without funding. If you are interested, please contact us online.
