Children
of Bahia is a charity dedicated to fighting child poverty
in the state of Bahia, one of the most deprived areas of
Brazil. We raise funds to support local child care and community
projects and currently help over two hundred children with
shelter, food, medical care, education and the support they
so desperately need. We rely entirely on the generosity
of our supporters.
COB
work on several fronts: Reactionary care: Feeding
many children, providing medical support, tackling homelessness.
Preventative care: Working with mothers, families
and local projects to improve sanitation, healthcare, nutrition,
and education. To improve the life, education and future
prospects for very poor or homeless children and at risk
families.
Palliative
care: Particularly through project IBCM which works
with many children & mothers who have HIV/AIDS.
All
our UK & US staff are un-paid volunteers and over
95% of all donations get to Brazil to help the children
directly.
