World Vision

“As many as 10,000 people have died monthly since the conflict began in Darfur, Sudan, mainly due to pervasive – and preventable – disease and hunger. Brutal ethnic conflict has driven over 2 million people into homelessness, their huts and villages pillaged, burned, and destroyed.

Victims end up living in ramshackle huts in numerous camps along the edge of the Sahara . Displaced families have meager access to food, water, clothing, and shelter.

Health care is also extremely limited. And killings and sexual assaults are rampant.

Families barely survive, living in conditions that World Vision has rarely seen in its many years of serving the needy. The lives of thousands of children are threatened, their fathers, homes, and communities lost. They face a bleak future.

Your gift to World Vision today will enable us to provide lifesaving food and relief to the children and families of Sudan , rebuilding lives and communities and restoring hope.”

Money collected through sponsors for the walk-a-thon will go to World Vision, a nonprofit, Christian organization dedicated to helping children and their families regardless of race, religion, gender, or ethnicity. I have personally worked with World Vision through the 30 Hour Feminine, a fundraiser that my church's youth group participates in every year along with hundreds of other church and youth groups.  Charity Navigator, a nonprofit organization that investigates charities and how they spend their money, has rated World Vision highly, giving them a four out of four stars.
