Ten were selected from 74 proposals submitted and reviewed by our grant committee of health experts. The reviewers look for projects which employ innovative methods to improve and save children's lives, and then award them up to $5,000 which, especially in developing countries, is a small fortune. We also awarded two Humanitarian Grants. 2014 Innovative Small Grants Awards Social Activities for Voluntary Efforts (SAVE), Bangladesh, will implement in 15 villages activities to reduce child and mothers' mortality rates to save the lives of poor newborns and pregnant mothers through developing trained midwives.
