Kevin McKidd Online Charity Fund
Thank
You For Your Continued Support!
Charity &
Fundraising Details
On January 12, 2010, a massive 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit the tiny Caribbean nation of
Haiti.
Over 3 million people were affected, with over one-third of them left
homeless. It will take decades for Haiti to rebuild.
Children often pay the highest cost in tragedies such as this. They have lost
family, belongings, familiarity, and a sense of safety in their
surroundings. Their young years have not prepared them for such a brutal
reality.
In response to this devastating disaster,
Kevin McKidd Online
and actor
Kevin McKidd
have partnered together to
raise funds for these littlest victims. Save the Children, an
established non-profit organization that benefits underdeveloped nations and communities, will receive
100% OF ALL NET PROCEEDS from our charity
event.

the last few months, these are just some of the things Save the Children*
and YOUR generous dollar$ have accomplished ...
Distributed food to more than 250,000 people.
Delivered transitional shelter materials to 7,500 households and is continuing to provide essential materials, shelter kits or cash grants.
Provided access to clean water and sanitation facilities to more than 221,000
people and is continuing those programs as it also works to improve drainage as the rainy season begins.
Cared for more than 23,000 children and adults through clinics and health teams and provided women's facilities staffed by doctors and midwives to offer reproductive and maternal health services.
Save the Children is enrolling thousands of mothers with infants into programs that provide specialized support on how to nourish and care for their babies in very difficult times and making sure that those who have special nutritional needs (i.e., malnourished children or orphaned children) are carefully followed and given therapeutic foods.
Worked with the Ministry of Education to identify temporary learning spaces and provided classroom tents and supplies so that 41 schools could reopen. The agency will focus on providing 160,000 children with access to schooling, training teachers, launching early childhood development programs and bringing education to out-of-school children.
Established 35 Child Friendly Spaces in Port-au-Prince and Jacmel, each providing structured activities for about 100 children per day and is continuing family tracing and reunification activities, as well as supporting the Haitian government to address institutional care, child labor and trafficking.
