As the world celebrates the International Day of the Girl Child, girl babies in China are still at risk, due to deadly son preference.  According to one U.N. estimate, up to 200 million girls are missing in the world today, victims of gendercide.  Will you help us save baby girls in China – girls like Keai?
Keai is alive today because our \u201cSave a Girl\u201d campaign<\/a> saved her from abortion.  She is the first child in her family.  Usually the first child is welcomed and loved.  But in Keai \u2019s family the situation was very different.  Her great-grandmother passed away last year from cancer.  Medical care used up the family\u2019s savings.  Then her great-grandfather got sick, and so did her paternal grandparents.  All this illness placed a huge financial burden on Keai\u2019s parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Keai \u2019s mom got pregnant, her husband and in-laws all felt that it was not a good time for a child.  They put great pressure on Keai \u2019s mom to abort.  This was a nightmare for Keai \u2019s mom, because she was determined to give birth.  Keai\u2019s mother hoped that Keai would be a boy, so that her father and in-laws would accept her.  Luckily for both Keai  and her mom, a fieldworker from WRWF heard about this situation and came to their door with a message of hope.  \u201cGirls are as good as boys,\u201d she said, and she offered monthly support for a year for Keai \u2019s mom to bring Keai  to birth.  Keai \u2019s life was saved, and her mom was so happy that she named her new daughter \u201cKeai\u201d which means \u201cloved.\u201d  She said: \u201cMy daughter is loved by someone in a far-away land, even if she is not loved by her own family.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
