"Help The Poor & Needy Children"
Mission
BeALifeGiver 's mission is to serve the poor and displaced children

and make a difference to an ordinary day in the life of a child.
Values
Mutual Respect

Accountability
Education
All children deserve a
education. Education enhances lives. Education is a basic human right,
vital to personal and societal development and well being. Education
ends generational cycles of poverty and disease and provides the means
for sustainable development. A quality basic education will better equip
girls and boys with knowledge and skills needed to adopt healthy
lifestyles, to protect themselves from HIV/AIDS and other sexually
transmitted diseases, and to take an active role in social, economic and
political decision-making as they transition to adolescence and
adulthood. As educated adults, they are more likely to have fewer
children, to be informed about appropriate child-rearing practices, and
to ensure their children start school on time and are ready to learn.
BeALifeGiver
advocates quality basic education for all children — girls and boys.
In promoting equity, BeALifeGiver focuses on the most disadvantaged children through a range
of innovative programmes and initiatives in education. We work with a
range of local, national and international partners to realize the
educational goals.
Child
survival and development
Every year, more than 10 million
children die totally preventable deaths. Some are directly caused by
illness such as pneumonia, diarrhoea and malaria. Others are caused by
indirect causes including conflict and HIV/AIDS. Malnutrition, poor
hygiene and lack of access to safe water and adequate sanitation
contribute to more than half of these deaths. Two thirds of both
neonatal and young child deaths — over 6 million deaths every year — are
preventable.
Existing low-cost,
low-technology and high impact interventions such as vaccines,
antibiotics, micronutrient supplementation, insecticide-treated bednets,
improved breastfeeding practices and adoption of safe hygiene practices
can prevent unnecessary maternal and child deaths and reduce
undernutrition.
By packaging services and
implementing at scale, high impact and evidence-based maternal, newborn
and child survival interventions, we can save millions of lives. By
ensuring that all children have access to basic education and by
focusing on children marginalized by poverty, HIV/AIDS, conflict and
discrimination, we can break the cycle of poverty that keeps children on
the brink of survival.
