Children in Extreme Poverty Stuggle to Live.
It’s Not too Late to Help…
The Terre des Hommes (TDH) Canada Dragonfly Campaign is an Opportunity for You to Rescue a Child From a Life of Hardship.
Terre des Hommes (TDH) Canada is a charitable organization focused on the needs of children worldwide who’ve been abandoned, and endure disadvantaged lives.
The Dragonfly campaign aims to raise funds for the children being left behind in Vietnam. For a $5 dollar donation you’ll receive a bamboo Dragonfly hand crafted in Vietnam. These beautiful dragonflies balance easily on your finger tip and make a wonderful addition to birthday loot bags, or as a small token to teachers, day care providers or any number of the people who’s contribution to our daily lives is always appreciated, but seldom recognized.
The Strength of the Future Lies in the Health of Our Children.
When you purchase one of the authentic Vietnamese hand crafted bamboo
Dragonflies, your 5 dollars will be used to provide Vietnamese children with the necessities of life:
Medicine – The risk of contracting infectious disease is high in Vietnam. An estimated 300,000 children are affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic, including children with HIV-positive parents and those orphaned by AIDS. Other diseases like bacterial diarrhea, hepatitis A, malaria, pneumonia and typhoid fever are a constant threat to vulnerable children with no means of acquiring medication.
Order now and your $5 Dragonfly purchase can be used to alleviate the dangers to these children and to provide medications and hospitalization where needed.
Food – The growth of Vietnam’s economy, while mostly positive, has caused an increase in the number of street children in large urban centres like Ho Chi Minh City. These children are Vietnam’s most vulnerable citizens…they have no homes and no safe means of income.
Order now and your $5 Dragonfly purchase will be used to feed these lost children for an entire week while also providing milk to infants in need.
Education – Enabling the poorest young people to achieve their dream of education can save an entire extended family from poverty, life long labour and early death. It’s a critical step in ending the cycle of hopelessness.
Order now and your $5 Dragonfly purchase can be used to provide school supplies for a month, giving a child a chance of escaping a desperate life.
Early Childhood Development– The gap in early development services for children ages 3-6 is especially stark for Vietnam’s ethnic minority populations. Over 60% of ethnic populations live below the poverty line.
Order now and your $5 Dragonfly purchase may be used to stimulate childhood development by providing crayons, pencils and colouring books to these children.
Your Dragonfly Purchase Will Help Provide Permanent, Compassionate and Competent Aid to the Children of Vietnam.
Five dollars is all it takes to meet the silent call from millions of suffering or dying children.
