-excerpt- Faith communities put these teachings into practice in their work to protect and advocate for children’s interests both in the United States and abroad. The Muslim Aga Khan Development Network’s education efforts provide early, elementary and secondary education to poor children in over 30 countries. The American Jewish World Service campaigns to protect children from violence in Darfur and to promote gender equality for girls in developing nations. And the Catholic Charities fights poverty in the United States, supporting families and children with direct services. In all of these instances, people of faith stand united to help children.
