Causes: What We Do
We are doing whatever it takes to reach every last child. We do this in various caring, and tender ways. A caring attitude helps us connect adequately with each child.
We ensure that children caught up in emergency have access to food and a shelter over their head. But beyond this we ensure protection is guarantee to the vulnerable.
HOG Charity is committed to bring to justice child that have been abused and exploited in one form or the other.
HOG Charity supports medical centers with medications and medical equipment’s to combat infant mortality which is prevalent in rural areas.
Apart from urgent needs like food, water, and shelters , we support communities in building classrooms in schools where children study under trees.
According to the United Nations report, yearly, almost 6 million children die before their fifth birthday, mostly from preventable causes such as pneumonia, diarrhoea, malaria and sepsis especially in developing countries.
Millions of children become ill or die because they lack access to health services or an adequate, nutritious diet. In fact, under -nutrition is estimated to contribute to 45% of all child deaths.
The world can save the lives of these children. Appropriate care before and around the time of birth could avert more than 50% of deaths attributable to labour and delivery complications, and care for small or sick newborns could avert 40% of newborn deaths.
Timely and exact treatment of pneumonia, diarrhoea and malaria could prevent up to 30% of child deaths in developing countries.
Exclusive breastfeeding through a child’s first six months of life could prevent up to 13% of child deaths.
Also time to time we help to provide adequate vaccination to children who need them, hence health is the primary need to quality life and productivity.
The challenge is that these services are not reaching the children most in need. Herz of gold charity foundation does whatever it takes.
By reaching more children, especially the most deprived and marginalized, with a small set of life-saving interventions, we can save millions of lives every year.
