SHADE HAVENS® is committed to creating a legacy of charitable giving. Five percent of our company profits are donated to Save the Children.

The original Save the Children Fund began in England in 1919 and provided aid to children in Vienna affected by World War I. It was reborn in the United States in 1932 as an organization designed to help the people of Appalachia who were struggling through the Great Depression. Since then, Save the Children has grown to a worldwide organization serving 37 million children in more than 50 countries. Programs include food aid, education, health care, and economic-development programs. While Save the Children may be best known for its child sponsorship programs around the world, it has several active programs in the United States, including:

After-school programs for more than 125,000 children

Eye care services and glasses to Navajo and Hopi children in New Mexico and Arizona

A Family Day Care Network that trains women to start in-home child care centers and offers referrals to parents seeking child care
