Our dedication to the bleeding disorders community, diligent use of funds, and personal relationships with organizations in developing countries allow Save One Life to provide a unique program that is all our own.

Concentrated Effort on the Bleeding Disorders Community

Save One Life fosters one-to-one caring relationships and direct financial support through individual sponsorship programs for people with bleeding disorders in developing countries to help meet the medical, education and social needs of the community.

Relationship Building

Save One Life promotes genuine communication between sponsors and candidates in the developing world as an integral part of the sponsorship program. A goal of this communication is to create a personal link between sponsors and the enrolled children and young adults.

Personal Programs

Save One Life staff make frequent field visits to developing countries to meet with the local bleeding disorders organization and with sponsored children and young adults. We want to make certain that sponsorship funds are helping each sponsored child or young adult and his or her family meet their basic needs, improve their economic and social conditions, and increase their ability to contribute to society. Personal sponsorship provides the reliable support necessary to sustain long-term programs while permitting individuals to take a personal stake in the future of the bleeding disorders world.

Proper Use of Funds

Before selecting a country for our program, Save One Life carefully studies the credibility and accountability of the country's national bleeding disorders organization. This association is typically a registered, nonprofit working for the benefit of people with bleeding disorders.

Candidates for sponsorship are children or young adults who are registered members of the country's bleeding disorders organization and receive care at the treatment center. Sponsorships are sent directly to this local association, which dispenses the donation to the child or young adult's family. This method of distribution ensures close contact between the sponsored individual and the bleeding disorders organization and allows for the continual monitoring of the family's need and proper use of funds. To further ensure accountability, Save One Life personnel make periodic visits to organizations and sponsored individuals in participating countries and encourage supporters to do the same.

All of the funds received from individual sponsors go directly to the developing country. The overhead for managing Save One Life is generated through other sources.

Non-Sectarian

Save One Life is a non-sectarian sponsorship organization. We respect the diversity of religions and cultures of our program participants and do not seek to impose our own religious values on the children, young adults and families we serve.
