Prostitution on Internet
In covertly questioning men who responded to Internet ads soliciting sex with young females, 47 percent of the callers wanted to continue with the “transaction,” despite three warnings about the girl’s age.
Terrible Odds
The next time you are walking down a crowded street, note the next three women you pass.
Odds are, one of them has or will be beaten, coerced into sex or abused in her lifetime.
We believe this terrible statistic is simply unacceptable, and we’re committed to help grantees who are working to do something about it.
Deadlier Than AIDS
Picture a killer deadlier than AIDS. You’ve just imagined MRSA.
As a survivor of MRSA, Harold Anderson understands the critical importance of this issue and how it can affect an individual’s life.
The Foundation funds research and educational efforts to help reduce the number of MRSA infections and help fight this deadly scourge.
Hope for Haiti
Following the January, 2010 earthquake a young woman named Verna lost her leg.
Today, she’s not only walking, she recently joined in an impromptu soccer match.
Now, you can join the Haitian Amputee Coalition in our goal of putting a prosthetic limb on every Haitian who needs one.
Saving Georgia’s Children
On a busy weekend night in Georgia, as many as 129 children will be prostituted.
With a firm belief that our children deserve better, we helped form “A Future. Not A Past.” to help put an end to this shameful fact.
Spearheaded by the Juvenile Justice Fund, this program has made great strides and will now roll out nationally.
Stop A Killer
For the first time since the development of sulpha drugs in the 1930′s, modern medicine may soon be unable to defeat certain infections.
We’ve worked with the Mayo Clinic to help find solutions that can stop deadly “super bugs” like MRSA.
But the first line of defense can be something as simple as a thorough hand-washing.
Wounded Warriors
Advances in battlefield emergency medical care mean more of America’s soldiers are surviving traumatic injuries that would have resulted in death in previous conflicts.
But this good news means an increased number of veterans must learn to cope with the loss of a limb.
Challenge America, launched by Amy Grant and Vince Gill, is helping our wounded warriors lead fuller more productive lives. Join with them in this worthy cause.
The Prostitution of Children
If you think the prostitution of children is a third-world problem — think again.
Every day in the U.S., thousands of children are at risk of being sexually exploited. And the abuse begins at home for three-quarters of these children.
Through grants to A Future. Not A Past. and by working closely with law enforcement officials in an increasing number of states, we’re working hard to tackle this shameful practice in America.
