Vaccinate A Village: The Oakridge School
Tax deductible
Measles is one of the most contagious and severe childhood diseases. Every day, it takes the lives of hundreds of children around the world.
Even if a child survives, measles can cause permanent disabilities, such as blindness or brain damage. The risk is great in developing countries where there is a prevalence of malnourishment and limited access to health care.
But there is hope. Since 2001, the American Red Cross and its partners in the Measles & Rubella Initiative have vaccinated children in places such as Kenya, Benin, and Ethiopia to protect them from these deadly diseases. It costs about $2 to vaccinate a child against measles and rubella, making it one of the most cost-effective health interventions available.
We believe that your support can be the key to providing life-saving medical assistance to those who need it the most. Join us in our mission to make healthcare accessible to all, and donate to our "Vaccinate A Village" Red Cross fundraising initiative today!
Disclaimer: Although the DFW Philanthropy Committee is promoting the Red Cross's role in the "Vaccinate A Village" M&RP, donations will be directly transferred to the American Red Cross general fund.
