Children International

Who We Are

Children International is a nonprofit humanitarian organization dedicated to bettering the lives of impoverished children, their families and communities.

We achieve our goals primarily through child sponsorship, which unites children in need with individual sponsors who wish to address the children's immediate and basic needs. Sponsorship gives poor children the tools and opportunities necessary for success by providing benefits and supporting programs for each child - primarily in the areas of education and health.

Our sponsorship program currently benefits more than 335,000 impoverished children and their families in 11 countries throughout the world, including Chile, Columbia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Mexico, the Philippines, the United States and Zambia.

Our Vision

Our vision is that every child graduates from our program as a healthy, educated, self-reliant adult with the ability and drive to break free from poverty while improving their own communities.

Our Mission

Our mission is to bring real and lasting change to children living in poverty. In partnership with contributors, we reduce their daily struggles, invest in their potential, and provide them with the opportunity to grow up healthy, educated and prepared to succeed and contribute to society.

Our Goal

Our goal is to truly affect the lives of impoverished children, their families and communities through our programs to relieve the burdens these people face and improve their quality of life.
