Save the Children is proud to be in partnership with One Dollar Day (1$day) - an innovative way for everyone to help change the lives of the world's most vulnerable children.
On Wednesday 25th July 2012, 1$day is asking everyone who can, to give just $1 for those who can't. It's the world's most simple, inclusive and affordable fundraising event.
What is it all about?
Just like you, 1$day believes that those of us who enjoy good fortune and health can help children who have so very little. Because it's just not right that over 7.6 million children die every year from preventable diseases or that 67 million school-aged children are not in school. With your $1 you can help turn these terrible statistics around, transforming and saving children's lives.
Where will my support be going?
In 2012 1$day supporting two Save the Children programs. The first is a Water, Sanitation and Hygiene program in Ethiopia and the other is the award winning and innovative Indigenous School Attendance program here in Australia. Both projects have significant additional health benefits for the children and their communities, which ensures the impact of your donation is far reaching.
