 “Every child deserves an equal opportunity. Yet, one in four children in rural America lives in poverty. Save the Children supplies literacy, physical, nutritional and early-childhood education to impoverished rural communities, helping to break the cycle of poverty. I’ve seen their programs first-hand and I know they work!” -Julianne Moore |
