Children of the Night

https://www.childrenofthenight.org

Children of the Night is a privately funded nonprofit organization established in 1979 with the specific purpose to provide intervention in the lives of children who are sexually exploited and vulnerable to or involved in prostitution and pornography.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Children of the Night home is open to child prostitutes throughout the United States, and the Children of the Night hotline is ready and able to rescue these children 24 hours a day. We provide free taxi/airline transportation nationwide for America’s child prostitutes who wish to escape prostitution and live in our home.

Our hotline staff works closely with law enforcement to rescue children from vile, dominating pimps.

Our home features an on-site school and college placement program. After youngsters complete our rigorous and comprehensive program of academic and life-skills education, caseworkers are available to provide ongoing case management to hundreds of graduates.

In 2011, Dr. Lois Lee created CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT WOW – Children of the Night With Out Walls to help even more children and young adults in a more cost effective manner. Children of the Night has rescued over 10,000 American children from prostitution RIGHT HERE IN THE UNITED STATES in the last 37 years – that is more children than all of the child sex trafficking programs in America combined.

Children of the Night WOW serves all ages of students (adults, children) seeking to learn academic and/or language skills required to escape sexual exploitation and/or poverty. There are no requirements. No fees. The student only needs access to a computer or mobile phone and a desire to learn. We do everything online from a call center in our shelter home. We can be available 24/7 to provide tutoring in any language.

IN AMERICA, we provide a FREE LIVE ONLINE HIGH SCHOOL EQUIVALENCY AND ENGLISH TUTORING PROGRAMserving Goodwill of California, drop-in centers, shelters, domestic violence programs, drug programs and individual children and young adults throughout the United States.

Our American students tend to be 18 to 24 years old. Many have aged out of the foster care system without an education.

INTERNATIONALLY, we offer FREE, LIVE, TUTORING. Children of the Night With Out Walls (WOW) provides free, live, online math and ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) tutoring, taught by LIVE tutors working in a call center within our shelter home. We do everything online from a call center in our shelter home. We provide live tutoring 24/7 in ANY language.

Internationally, our students have been 13 – 17-year- old sex trafficking victims living in orphanages and unable to attend regular school because of the threat of kidnapping for sex or labor trafficking.

What is Stable Influence Charity Programs

For millennia, people the world over have had a working and love relationship with horses; and though horses are no longer needed in the service of man, the love for these beautiful creatures remains. The recreation and sports associated with horseback riding are not only enjoyable, but have been proven to be therapeutic. Individuals with disabilities are challenged by the activity, and are not only rewarded by it, but realize it as a road to recovery. For them it's a chance for building self-confidence, promoting independence, and providing a sense of normalcy not otherwise available.Whether it's a 7-year-old with Cerebral Palsy, or a 75-year-old victim of stroke, their many stories and successes will touch you. This program improves lives. This program works!

Caitriona Balfe
Patron of World Child Cancer: http://www.worldchildcancer.org/

Its Mission:

To improve cancer diagnosis, treatment and care for children across the developing world.

"Poor diagnosis, along with too few specially trained doctors and nurses and the mistaken belief that childhood cancer is too difficult to cure, combine to create very low survival rates.
In fact childhood cancer is curable even in resource-poor countries. It’s possible to save the lives of 50–60% of children with easily treatable malignancies with relatively simple and inexpensive drugs and procedures that have been known to doctors for decades."

Àdhamh Ó Broin
Save Dalriada Gaelic: http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/dalriadagaelic
Adhamh is seeking to raise £10,000 by August 31st in order to fund his project to save his native Dalriada dialect. He's 73% there, but needs our help!

In his words:
"My Scottish Gaelic dialect stands on the verge of extinction. There is one native speaker left who was brought up with the language since birth and he is now in his mid 80s. No need to refer to UNESCO's levels of language endangerment to know that this is a critically endangered tongue!

Despite the fact that I've learned the dialect to fluency and taught it to my three mini-Gaels who speak it with great pride, we've got to find a way of branching out to ensure this beautiful and unique slice of Scotland's heritage survives outside of my little family unit."

Gary Lewis
