As we close out 2017, we at ETC would like to say a great big THANK YOU to all of our friends! Your support has made such a difference in the lives of children like 4th grader Kapil Thami and their families. We can’t do it without you!

Last-minute shoppers, wrap up your holiday shopping at http://smile.amazon.com/ch/16-1383981 and Amazon donates to Educate the Children!

Educate the Children is a Better Business Bureau Accredited Charity. Achieving BBB Charity Accreditation means that an organization has met BBB’s 20 Standards for Charity Accountability. This rigorous test evaluates charities based on a set of holistic standards so donors can view information about that charity and feel more confident in their charitable giving decisions. Detailed information about BBB’s 20 Standards for Charity Accountability, along with ETC’s full charity report, can be found online at bbb.org or give.org. (direct link to report: https://tinyurl.com/ETC-BBB)

Thank you so much to all who supported ETC on #GivingTuesday! Together we raised more than $6,000 for better health in rural Nepal.

Here’s another, very easy, way that you can support ETC while doing your online holiday shopping and in fact year-round. When you shop via Amazon, start at smile.amazon.com/ch/16-1383981 and ETC will get .5% of the price of all eligible items purchased. There are many millions of eligible items, and there is no extra cost to you!

Your support today (#GivingTuesday) ensures better health for Nepali villagers! Preventive health at home and at school is extra-important when it’s a long way to walk for professional care, as was the case for these moms and babies waiting at the health post in Babare.
