There are several organizations that are devoted to protecting children all around the world, providing the health care they needed in places and countries where they could not get it.

The first organization to be mentioned is World Vision, which makes it possible for anyone generous enough to sponsor a child in Africa for 30 dollars per month or even an entire family for 40 dollars per month. The same organization is trying to highlight the problems that affect children because of various reasons like the Global AIDS Crisis, droughts, kidnappings, earthquakes and other disasters. World Vision encourages people to volunteer and get involved in all activities directed towards child protection. It provides the necessary information that is needed to keep people aware of what is going on. Hugh Jackman and Alex Trebek are some of the notable persons affiliated with this organization.

Invisible Children is another such organization mentioned. A group of 30 people traveled all around the U.S.A. to cover 400 screenings of a movie made by three young Californians back in 2003 about the tragedy that children in Uganda were experiencing. These efforts were made in order to raise awareness and to encourage people to make a change and get involved. Anyone visiting their website could have bought a bracelet in order to help the cause of children in Uganda.

The Children’s Health Fund is an organization focused on providing medical care to under-served children and their families. They have many innovative primary care medical programs that are meant as a response to the public health crisis. The aim of this organization is to make sure that all children have access to the basic medical care that they need. Anyone who visits the website of this organization is given the necessary information so that they can make donations and even volunteer for the organization’s programs.

The Boys and Girls Club is an organization providing necessary programs for the good development of girls and boys. These programs help children develop a sense of belonging, of competence and usefulness. People can make donations to support the club, and could, of course, volunteer.

Also, the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is promoted as a unique pediatric treatment facility, where such discoveries are made that children afflicted by serious diseases are now treated in a more efficient manner. All patients receive great medical care in this hospital, regardless of their families’ ability to pay.
