By collaborating with health organizations, you can make the world a much healthier place. One of the organizations that you can collaborate with is the American Red Cross. The Red Cross is a humanitarian organization that provides disaster relief, emergency assistance and education. You can collaborate by donating money and volunteering your time and effort. When you help collaborate with the Red Cross, you can make a difference by helping people that have been in a disaster. You can also help children around the world with diseases and save lives by donating blood.
The Red Cross is committed to helping people all around the world that have been in disasters. They do this by providing shelter and feeding the hungry. The Red Cross shelters people that have had their houses burnt down, flooded or destroyed by disasters. During hurricane Katrina, Wilma and Rita, they opened up 1,470 shelters, distributed 205,360 clean-up kits and served 68 million snacks and meals for victims and rescue workers.“I don't know where me and my kids would have slept without the Red Cross”, said a mother of two. Not only does your collaboration with the Red Cross help victims, it also helps feed the fire fighters and police officers to support their service.
The Red Cross helps children around the world fight back against diseases. They have partnered up with organizations such as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, UNICEF and the World Health Organization. By working with these organizations, they focus on preventing infectious diseases like the measles. An example of this is the creation of the Measles & Rubella Initiative which helps the control of diseases and reduce deaths. Through this program, they have supported vaccination campaigns in more than sixty countries and helped vaccinate over one billion children and families in over eighty different countries.
