| Giving a Child a Better Future |
We would like to thank all the parents that have registered to use the secure log in section of our new website; there is now nearly 600 of you viewing up-to-date information about our nurseries. If you haven’t already done so please register and you will see the latest photos of our Christmas Events which have taken place across our nurseries. Our website will provide up-to-date information about Kiddi Caru and your nursery but will not replace or detract from the daily contact you have with your child's keycarer and any other staff members working in your child's room.
As part of our website incentive we are delighted to have placed an order today with World Vision for 10 birthing kits, school meals for 90 children and enough books to fill a small library – thank you for giving a child a better future through our World Vision campaign. The next milestone is training for a Child Carer.

Did you know:
- Every year 8.8 million children die before their fifth birthday, all from preventable causes. That’s roughly equivalent to the populations of London, Birmingham and Liverpool, combined.
- Malnutrition is the underlying cause in at least 35% of all child deaths.
- Every day, 22,000 children under five die of preventable causes such as diarrhoea, malaria and pneumonia.
John's Story
In Uganda, two year old John Mutegeki lies in his mother's arms. His mother and father have just walked eight miles to their closest clinic. John is diagnosed with extreme dehydration and anaemia as a result of diarrhoea and vomiting. His mother explains that they are not always able to drink clean water.
The nurse gives John simple Oral Rehydration Salts; it is the last pack she has left. John’s parents must now walk miles to the next clinic and use the last of their money to buy more of the medicine that their son so desperately needs.
In the west we sometimes forget the true value that something like Oral Rehydration Salts hold. They are cheap (just 10p,) effective and accessible, to us. In countries like Uganda children are dying because they are still too expensive and just out of reach.
We are facing a silent emergency, one that's bigger than any natural disaster the world has ever seen. It's unacceptable - cheap and simple solutions exist that could save millions of lives.
World Vision has launched its new global campaign Child Health Now; this campaign seeks to stop children like John dying from preventable causes and Kiddi Caru is getting involved too. Find out how in future updates...
