Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW) donations provide bedkits to children of any race and/or religion who will benefit the most; typically being located in underdeveloped and developing countries. No portion of a bedkit donation is spent on administration — 100% reaches a needy child. Each *$35 donation (Canadian funds) provides a bedkit that consists of a mat or mattress, pillow, sheet, blanket, mosquito net (if applicable), clothes outfit, towel and school supplies. Bedkit contents vary from country to country depending upon local needs. Since its founding by Murray and Margaret Dryden in 1970, SCAW has raised over $20 million to provide bedkits for over 900,000 children in 33 countries. In 2009 we reached our millionth child.

SCAW is a registered charity in Canada. To pay for a bedkit, you will need to visit the website at www.scaw.org. You will have the choice to either make a simple donation in Canadian Dollars or a set amount of $35 (approx £20) which will pay for one bedkit. Worlds Apart cannot be held responsible for any charges or costs incurred by your credit card company or changes in the exchange rate. Alternatively, you may post a traveller's cheque in Canadian dollars, obtainable from your bank, along with a completed donation form that can be downloaded from the SCAW website, and filled in with details which will ensure your child receives a personalised photograph of the child with the donated bed kit. In downloading and using this sponsorship form, you acknowledge all the above facts and accept full responsibility for any additional costs incurred in making a payment to SCAW. Furthermore, you agree to undertake to ensure that any money collected as part of your child's sponsorship for Ready For Bed Week will be donated to the charity Sleeping Children Around the World.
