Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW)

Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW) is a Canadian NGO that collects money to send bedkits to children in the developing world.

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 $23 million to provide bedkits for more than a million children in 33 countries.
