Tens of thousands of children die every day because they haven't been given a real chance to live. They probably haven't had enough food to eat, safe water to drink or medicine to survive.

World Vision Children in Crisis is your opportunity to help us reach children living in circumstances that are robbing them of a life lived to the full.

You can support Children in Crisis for as little as $10 a month.

The initiative provides help in desperate situations, in places where Child Sponsorship typically isn't available. There are five categories to choose from:

• Children at Risk (e.g. helping street children)
• Education and Skills Training (e.g. giving important vocational training to orphans)
• Emergencies and Disasters (e.g. providing emergency relief and recovery long-term to communities affected by natural disasters)
• HIV and AIDS (e.g. giving medical attention to the sick, as well as support orphans and vulnerable children)
• Health and Disability (e.g. helping to combat other health problems such as malnutrition and malaria).

Your money helps change the lives of children who might otherwise have been without hope.

Ten dollars can:

• Buy a week's worth of meals at a shelter for street children in Mongolia.
• In one year, provide a child orphaned because of AIDS with stationery, school fees and a uniform.
• In one year, buy a low-smoke stove for a family in Honduras.
