About us ...

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.

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 provided bedkits for over a million children in 32 countries. In 2010 Sleeping Children celebrates its fortieth year of helping children. 100% of every bedkit donation reaches a needy child.
