"Give Me 5" Handprint Group Painting

Encourage kindergartens and primary schools to organise the "Give Me 5" handprint group painting to put up
their hands and be the change of the world. We hope that schools can post their final paintings
in visible places as a reminder to students of their continual concerns for the
child health issue. (Activity Guidelines)

Joint Declaration by 100,000 People

Our heartfelt thanks go to the enthusiastic support from 102,725 people of Hong Kong and Macau, including the students from over 80 kindergartens, primary schools, secondary schools and tertiary institutes. An open
letter was sent to Mr. Ban Ki-moon, the United Nations Secretary-General, on March 1 to urge
all governments to allocate more resources on child health as well as preventing children
from succumbing to preventable diseases. Also, a letter by a local student Jong-Min
(Jason) Choi, stating his enthusiastic hope for the United Nations to save these vulnerable
children, was sent along with the open letter. (Browse our Letter to the UN)

Help children live beyond the age of five, please continue to call for students'
attenion on the child health crisis.

We welcome schools to raise funds to support World Vision’s children and maternal health projects.

Promote vaccinations for 100 children under 5 through educating their parents and training medical staff.

Vaccinations, such as B.C.G. vaccines and de-worming medicine can effectively improve the health of children under 5. Unfortunately, in Burundi, Africa, parents do not understand the importance of vaccinations and medical staff lack relevant training. Hence, children are easily infected with preventable diseases at a very young age, and some even die.

Provide insecticide-treated bed nets for 20 families to protect children against malaria.

Insecticide-treated bed nets can help prevent children from contracting malaria. But sadly, in India, many families are too poor to afford a bed net. Children are frequently bitten by mosquitos at night. The sister of a young Indian boy named Rashid died from malaria because their family could not afford a bed net – she was not even two when she died.

Offers nutritional supplements, such as vitamins and folic acid for 50 pregnant women to prevent infant malnutrition in the womb.

A key factor in determining whether an infant will grow up healthy or not is whether their mothers receive adequate nutrition during pregnancy. A good example is Aye, a four-year-old Myanmar girl, whose mother was malnourished when she was pregnant. Consequently, Aye has been constantly ill since birth. She is malnourished and so weak that she can barely walk.

*Schools can organise its fundraising event and if needed, borrow a World Vision donation box . For details, please refer to the donation form.
