Founded in 1992, Healthy Child Healthy World is focused on awareness-building and advocacy to protect the health and well-being of children from harmful environmental exposures. They educate parents, support protective policies, and engage communities to make responsible decisions and well-informed lifestyle improvements to create healthy environments where children and families can flourish. The organization’s 2007-08 budget is $1.2 million.

Nationally recognized web sites including www.healthychild.org and www.healthehouse.org, along with a blog, monthly e-newsletters, and our First Steps program, are designed to inform the public about the health effects of environmental toxins and provide interactive tools and simple tips for parents to keep their kids healthy.  Corporate partnerships with companies such as WebMD, Seventh Generation, Shaklee and Whole Foods Market to develop educational materials and increase reach.

In 2008, LASVP is assisting Healthy Child with brand strategy development, board development, and executive coaching for staff.

“It's amazing to have LASVP bring together the thought leadership, strategic leadership and expert guidance every non-profit craves.  SVP has done more than invest in Healthy Child Healthy World - they are influencing the fabric of our culture and programmatic efforts to be mature, focused, and driven to have the impact on the world we strive for."
