Not Another Child

Not Another Child (NAC) uses social networks to provide support to 2,011 children-in-need (ages 0-14 years). This first phase of NAC's aspiration began in January 2011 and will end whenever 2,011 children's lives change for the better. NAC’s modus operandi is using Peer-to-Peer networks to identify children needing food, shelter, and clothing. With help from Trusted Volunteers, NAC ensures 100% of donations benefit impoverished children. In the words of NAC’s founder: “It is time to make a difference in the life of a child here and the life of a child there, one impoverished child at a time, for some children a one-time difference, for other children a difference of a lifetime.”
