In many cultures, children with disabilities are ostracized, trapped in their homes. Bikes give children with disabilities greater independence and help them travel to school.
After escape or rescue, a Welcome Kit can make trafficking survivors feel safe and at home once again. CRS works to prevent human trafficking worldwide and protect victims. Survivors recieve psychosocial support and job training. Welcome Kits provide survivors with all the necessary items of home as soon as they arrive. Give human trafficking victims a welcome with hygiene items, clothes and bedding. Help a girl feel like herself again.
Malaria is a preventable disease, yet at least half a million people—most of them children—die each year for want of inexpensive long-lasting insecticide-treated nets. Mosquito nets protect entire families so they can sleep safely and soundly.
In poor communities, people with disabilities are often invisible and isolated, with limited opportunities to overcome physical challenges or participate in community life. A wheelchair can open doors to education, jobs and socialization that are crucial to well-being.
Hand-washing stations significantly reduce disease, and increase student attendance and academic achievement. As part of our water and sanitation programming, Catholic Relief Services provides hand-washing stations for families, with latrines, in schools and refugee centers, and in central locations within a community. We also provide basic hygiene education.
A household garden provides important nutritional variety to poor families. Catholic Relief Services teaches families how to build keyhole gardens, raised-bed gardens that are specially designed to maintain nutrient-rich soil and stay productive during winter months. They are also easy to tend, even for people with limited mobility.
Hearing aids make it possible for children with hearing loss to fully participate in school. Children and families also learn how to use and care for their hearing aids.
