CHILD ACTION INITIATIVE DOUBLE YOUR DONATION OPPORTUNITY

Child Action Initiative (CAI) is in need of a vehicle for the use of Isaiah (Esaie) Njimbu Chot, executive director of Child Action Initiative for transportation for himself, to take pregnant women and children to the hospital, transport supplies, take visitors to Kasungami, etc.  This is an opportunity to assist Isaiah in obtaining a vehicle.  Alternately you may donate to other CAI projects such as: Sustainable Agriculture and Development, Children's Education, Medical care, etc.

Last year $2 million dollars were donated to Advance Specials within the first 2 hours of  Giving Tuesday. We will be making our online donations immediately after midnight EST on December 2, 2014, to be sure of a match.  A total of $6.5 million dollars were donated to the Advance on Giving Tuesday 2013.

When you make an online donation through the Advance on December 2, 2014, your gift will multiply. For one day only, December 2, 2014, as part of UMC#GivingTuesday, gifts made to Child Action Initiative through Advance Number 3021036 will be matched*.
