 The Child Health Site was created in answer to the deeply troubling call to action that millions of children around the world suffer needlessly from preventable disease and injury simply because their families and communities are not wealthy enough to pay for prevention and treatment. According to the United Nations, over 10 million children die annually from preventable causes, and many millions more are severely injured  The National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc., founded in 1991, is a nonprofit charitable foundation whose primary purpose is to provide continuing public education on the early detection of breast cancer and free to low-cost mammography screenings to individuals and organizations, most particularly, minorities, low-income, homeless, and working poor women. NBCF does not make grants for mammograms directly to individuals. They give grants directly through designated programs for homeless, battered, and low-income women in inner city neighborhoods.  There are over 10 million animals abandoned and put to death every year. Many millions more are neglected or treated cruelly. Helping to find secure homes and food for these animals makes the world a better place, but this does not mean that you have to choose between animal welfare and human welfare. There is enough food on the earth to feed all of its inhabitants both human and animal, but it is poorly distributed. Feeding neglected animals and finding them homes does not take food away from starving people.
