Founded in 1970, Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW) provides bedkits to children in developing countries, regardless of race or religion. Volunteerism is at the heart of Sleeping Children Around the World; we engage thousands of volunteers worldwide. 100% of all bedkit donations go directly to its contents. No portion is used to pay for operating expenses. Each $35 kit consists of a mattress, pillow, blanket, mosquito net, clothes and school supplies. The contents of the kit vary from country to country based on their individual needs. 1.1 PURPOSE: To increase the overall health and well being of children in developing countries. Health is defined as achieving a healthy mind, body and spirit. 1.2 VISION: A world in which every child awakes refreshed and energized to a day of possibilities. 1.3 MISSION: We lead a global community of volunteers and partners to transform the lives of children in developing countries through a good night's sleep [and education]. 1.4 PASSION: Our Volunteers worldwide dedicate their time and energy to Sleeping Children because we passionately believe in what we do!
