*Every
3 seconds
a child dies.
*Every
18 seconds
a child becomes an orphan.
*There are over
147 million
orphaned children in the world today.
*Nearly
11 million
children die each year before they reach their 5th birthday.
*Over
14 million
children over the age of 15 have lost one or both parents due to AIDS.
*
11 million
children starve to death each year or die due to preventable, treatable illnesses.
*
8.5 million
children work as child slaves, prostitutes or in horrific conditions.
*
2.3 million
children world wide are living with HIV.
Total:
182.8 million
needy children around the world.
Fact: There are 2.1 billion professed Christians.
If
5% of those 2.1 billion
professed Christians
stood up and took care for one of the
182.8 billion children
, there would be no more.

Welcome!
Braids of Hope just got started. We have ordered the fabric for the headbands and hope to start making them by next weekend. If you would like to purchase a headband, please come back in a week or so. We hope to have some up then.
