Pakistan Relief Efforts
The devastation caused by flooding in Pakistan has us all wanting to help more. According to UNICEF, the lives of 3.5 million children are under threat. You have heard and seen the rest from the media. Child Health Foundation supports an organization there which has reached out to us for emergency funds and we would like to offer this opportunity to everyone who wants to help.
Because this is a grassroots organization working to improve the lives of the survivors with food, clothes and medicines, we feel that the money you give would be used wisely and we assure you that all of it will go there.

Cera Products / Child Health Foundation donate ORS to earthquake victims in Haiti
Child Health Foundation has donated 10 pallets with 9,000 litres of CeraLyte Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) to the victims of the tragic earthquake in Haiti, preparing for epidemics of diarrheal disease, almost certain to happen. Children are the most vulnerable. ORS prevents death from dehydration. The product was supplied by Cera Products Inc. and donated to Direct Relief International who will take it to Haiti. Anyone who wants to make a tax deductible financial contribution to help the victims in Haiti can do so either on our
website or send a check to our office:

Unusual rise in patients at ICDDR,B’s Dhaka Hospital
A Surprise Appearance

This photo certainly depicts the Gates' positive impression of the Center’s Hospital and their concern for the patients there. |
Bill and Melinda Gates made an unannounced visit to ICDDR,B in Bangladesh in December 2006. Their foundation has donated generously to the Center, especially for pneumonia studies. Upper respiratory diseases hold the number one cause of death among children in the developing world.
The visit was a well kept secret for security reasons, and all went well. The Gates’ have been instrumental in bringing global health to the public’s attention. They make these kinds of trips annually to get first hand information about how their money is being used. |
According to an article in Time magazine, the couple “delights in these escapades, not just because they are intellectually captivated by the scientific challenge of treating the diseases of the poor but also because they are convinced that they are living through a historic inflection point when medical breakthroughs could save the lives of millions.”
The International Centre for Diarrheal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICDDR,B), our partner in child health, is doing just that!
