"Love allows us to bridge great distances so that children an
ocean away are as precious to us as the little ones living right down
the block," said the Most Rev. Michael B. Curry, Presiding Bishop and
Primate of The Episcopal Church and Honorary Co-Chair of ONE THOUSAND
DAYS OF LOVE. "Episcopal Relief & Development's programs with
children share our love with thousands of children in Africa, Asia and
Latin America. With your help, we can demonstrate God's love to
thousands more."
Research shows that the first 1,000 days for children are
critical in setting a foundation that affects their ability to grow,
learn and thrive over their entire lives. Around the world, 155 million
children under five are stunted due to inadequate nutrition and health
care. Episcopal Relief & Development works with communities to
ensure that children have access to food, clean water, and quality
health care.
Episcopal Relief & Development invites individuals,
congregations and dioceses to join ONE THOUSAND DAYS OF LOVE by engaging
in acts of love of their own. These acts can include:
- Learning about the campaign and the organization's work with children.
- Sharing the campaign with their congregations and communities on social media, through online peer-to-peer fundraising and other creative campaign activities.
- Giving as an individual or congregation to help expand the organization's work with children.
