PLANTING PEACE
Our current total is 131,272 doses provided.
THE STORY
South Sudan is facing the worst hunger crisis the world has seen since the Ethiopian famine of the 1980s, and more than one million Sudanese children are facing starvation. A staggering 90 percent of these children, already struggling to get enough nutrition, are infected with intestinal worms. These worms eat on average 20-40 percent of a child's daily nutritional intake, causing high rates of anemia, malnutrition and death. There are currently 650 million people drinking unsafe water.
The good news is Planting Peace can deworm a child for just ONE PENNY (American). For us Canadians that is about 70 children per dollar. Join our deworming campaign today and help bring life-saving medication to one million children in South Sudan, Haiti, India and elsewhere.

'I believe everyone needs to be someones hero. If you can raise a dollar you will save a life. If you are not local to our area please feel free to use our resources and start this movement anywhere. This is a beautiful program to introduce to children and schools, churches and community groups or keep it intimate with family members and share as a gift. Hang a paper thermometer and watch the number of people you can help climb. A great work group gift to get together and give or a jar on the desk or Friday dress down donation, the possibilities are endless.
in South Western Ontario area.
We are currently looking for businesses and Organizations willing to act as a Penny Depot or initiate fundraising for this cause. You will develop this program and refine it to the methods that work for your situation. When a single penny can equal one treatment for one person the impact you are able to have is astounding. Ten dollars is 1,000 people. This is easily traced and you are able to update your project partners at all times.
Are you able to host a change jar and hang a flyer or make 100 business cards and hand them to others. Hold a hot chocolate stand or lemonade or bake sale or...the list is unending. Participation can be open to anyone. Everyone. You and your children. You and your co-workers. Children's programs. Seniors Programs and anyone in between. All we want to do is to be kept informed and add your name, individually or as a group, and the total you have raised. To date the number of children that have received a treatment through our fundraising is 21,000 children. We would like that number to grow. Group names will be posted on this page.
**Please note that your donation is to be sent directly to Planting Peace. To include you in our We Heal the World initiative we need you to forward the confirmation email to [email protected]
**We are Canadian. The program is headquartered in Florida. We do have to pay the exchange rate and choosing to give to this cause will not allow for a Canadian tax receipt.
We are asking that you print your own resources as our budget is nil, zip and nada.
