Children International

Overview

Children International is a top-rated humanitarian organization focused on ending poverty by providing high-impact programs to children and young adults. We work in 10 countries: Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Mexico, the Philippines, the U.S.A. and Zambia.

About half of those living in poverty are children, and we believe ending poverty starts with them. Without help, children in poverty become adults in poverty. Their future children are born into poverty, and the cycle continues.

Together, we can put an end to generational poverty with a long-term, customized program that helps children get the education, life skills and confidence to change their lives – and the lives of future generations too. Our unique, global approach focuses on four key areas:

Health: We help children develop healthy habits and connect them with health services when they need them.

Education: We focus on supporting children to complete secondary school. But education doesn't have a one-size-fits-all solution. So, to help, we give some kids fees or uniforms, while others may get supplies, tutoring or scholarships.

Empowerment: We help children develop leadership, teamwork and confidence to prepare them for long-term success as adults.

Employment: We help teens and young adults develop workplace and technical skills with mock interviews, résumé writing, job connections and scholarships for college or vocational training so they can change their lives for good.
