The project is designed to teach Native American children about the importance of Indian land tenure and the cultural and historical relationship between Indian people and the land. The ILTF has developed the base material of a curriculum with consideration for Native American tribal issues and values and the context illustrates the important cultural relationship between land and people everywhere, not just Native Americans.

ILTF has helped to fund the integration and implementation of the curriculum into three tribal schools and two public schools, reaching more than 2,000 Native American students to date.

This project will give poor children and young people the opportunity to go to school for one year. This will allow them to study, to socialise with their peers, to increase self esteem and to develop leadership skills. It is anticipated that many may be able to continue in some form of education.

The project will provide the area with its first library, giving students access to books in order to do their homework. It will also provide computers, allowing them to learn and to have access to the internet.

It will also provide other key materials, including DVDs, desks, chairs, blackboards, workbooks and other teaching aids.

This project is designed to address the needs of indigenous Mayan women and new-born children in the western highlands of Guatemala, where the maternal mortality rate is twice that of the rest of the nation, and the infant mortality rate of new-borns is also very high: in the Department of Quiché, 33 new-borns die for every 1,000 births.

The project is designed to respond to identified needs at the community and institutional health-provider level, with the goal of enabling more women to feel comfortable in hospitals, confident that they will receive culturally appropriate neo-natal and maternal services.

The Sunka Wawa school serves the children of poor families which moved to Cayambe to work in the numerous export-oriented flower factories and which therefore have diverse origins and often come from diversified cultural backgrounds. They hence represent a strongly 'multi-ethnic' beneficiary target, made up of Afro-Ecuadorians (a black population of African origin living along the coast of Ecuador), natives of the Cordillera of the Andes and half-caste people from the rest of the country. The school provides education along with a number of additional services: basic health care, vaccinations and a healthy and balanced diet. The project will double the current capacity of the school.

This project seeks to improve access to secondary education in this rural area of Peru, where such education is largely limited to vocational training in agriculture. It aims to introduce an improved technical curriculum for secondary schools to offer a wider range of education, technical skills and life skills. It will also offer training for education authority administrators and provide technical training to adolescents and young people to build their skills, confidence and participation in their communities.

Only 21 per cent of rural children in Peru can access secondary school and the dropout rate is very high, especially for girls.

The project is designed to help deafblind children and their families. Local partner FAPIZ has been providing rehabilitation services to visually impaired girls, boys and young people in rural areas around Cochabamba for 19 years. With the support of Sense International (Latin America), FAPIZ has incorporated deafblindness and multiple disabilities into its work. As a result, 27 children are now receiving specialised education and life-skills training. The organisers are now seeking to expand community-based services to another 25 or so deafblind and multiply disabled children in the first year.

The Foundation serves New York City children living in low-income neighbourhoods. They have a high-school drop-out rate of 60 per cent and are less likely to attend college or professional training programs than are children from economically stable areas.

Fiver selects childred aged eight or nine with the understanding that they will be part of its program for 10 years. This commitment ensures continuity of relationship with the children and their families. Each child is matched with a Fiver counsellor, who maintains contact with the family, addresses family needs through referrals and home visits, and engages the family in Fiver's programs and special events.

This is designed to address the twin problems of the lack of food for children and the lack of jobs for their parents. Yéle Haiti has developed Yéle Cuisine in conjunction with Le Mouvement d'Unite de la Communaute par l'Integration (MUCI). This is a new sustainable and community-driven micro-enterprise model whereby cooked food will be made available to the public through new women's associations which will be formed and trained to serve as owner/operators of food distribution outlets. They will sell two thirds of what they cook to the local community, while providing one third at little or no cost to children in local schools, orphanages and hospitals.

The goal of the organisation is to improve the education, nutrition, and lives of the thousands of displaced children who are living in perilous conditions because of the violent internal conflict in Colombia.

The aim of the "More Schools" programme is to build new schools and/or improve the infrastructure of existing ones. The schools are equipped with recreational activity areas, libraries and computer laboratories.

The "Tools for Life" programme is filled with activities and strategies to assist displaced children and families in the process of adjusting to their new lives. It provides qualifying children with scholarships, nutritional meals, after-school programmes and psychological help.

This is a two-year pilot that will immediately save children's lives in remote target communities, and also inform policy-makers on how to save more children in the future. It will use community case management (CCM), which brings communities simple, curative interventions to treat common infant and childhood infections, such as diarrhoea, pneumonia, malaria, and new-born sepsis. Community health volunteers are trained to assess, classify, counsel, treat and occasionally refer children with these common illnesses to health facilities.

Over the course of the pilot, SCUS will increase the reach and complexity of services, starting with communities located one to two hours from the nearest health facility.

The project aims to enrich the cultural life of children and teenagers in the community through artistic activities, beginning with singing and music. It encourages them to learn about other life-styles, the exercise of active citizenship and the right to culture and education. The aim of the educational/artistic work is to involve the participants' families as well as different communities.

Like other municipalities of Rio de Janeiro, Duque de Caxias suffers from social problems relating to health care, public security and safe spaces for children.
