A crash course in changing the world.
Volunteered with, helped promote and donated to A Child’s Right (ACR)’s China project.
ACR - The China Project: Clean Water for Orphans is a five-year project that will target 400 Chinese orphanages and child welfare institutions across the country, bringing clean and safe drinking water to vulnerable and sick orphans. From 2008 to 2013, A Child’s Right (ACR) will undertake this bold and exciting project that will improve the lives of over two hundred thousand orphaned children in China. Working with the China Center of Adoption Affairs and the China Social Work Association, a branch under China’s Ministry of Civil Affairs, A Child’s Right will identify institutions that shelter 50 to 1000 orphans. Using our proven systems and procedures, ACR will guarantee the safety and quality of the water for the children and staff at each facility.

A Child's Right (ACR) is unique in the water field as its sole focus is bringing clean, safe, purified drinking water to vulnerable children in impoverished urban and peri-urban centers – specifically to sites burdened with unsafe water quality and high concentrations of at-risk children. In the last three years alone, they have provided safe drinking water to more than 250,000 children in orphanages, street shelters, rescue homes, schools, displacement camps and children's hospitals in cities around the world.
ACR is an implementing organization and has projects, offices and staff in Cambodia, China, Ethiopia and Nepal. All projects are monitored routinely by in country staff for efficacy and safety, and each site project assists between 100 - 5,000 children (depending on the site). The process and system coverage are scalable and have been used in both Cambodia and Nepal's largest pediatric hospitals to assist more than 100,000 children per site annually.
ACR's most ambitious project to date is their five-year mission to bring clean drinking water to every orphanage in China – an undertaking that will encompass more than 500 orphanages in every province and municipality across China. ACR launched this project in partnership with the Chinese government in May 2008, and has already completed more than 150 system installations in orphanages throughout the country. With staff and offices in 5 cities, they will be averaging 200 orphanage installations annually in China.
