Through Children International, giving can take many different forms. You can build or repair a home so that a family lives more safely. You can help teens learn a skill and develop leadership abilities. You can help us send medicines and clothing to communities in desperate need. Or help support a needy child while he or she waits for a sponsor.

HOUSING PROGRAM

Sheltering families in their time of need

Dirt floors. Walls made of black plastic and rusted tin. Leaking roofs that pour rivers of water into homes during storms.

Many children grow up in heartbreaking conditions because their families can’t afford anything else. They build shelters out of whatever they can purchase for pennies…or find discarded alongside the road.

This is a recipe for constant illness and crippling despair...

With your help, we can make sure a child doesn’t have to spend sleepless nights on a damp, filthy floor. We can make sure he or she has the safety and security of a sturdy roof, solid walls and a good foundation. And no longer lives in fear and distress.

Every dollar you give gets us closer to repairing a home in desperate need of help. Or building a new home for a family living in complete squalor. Just $25, $50 or $100 is enough to change lives.

WAITING CHILD

Help us continue providing support until they’re sponsored

Thousands of children wait. They wait for someone to step forward and help with the basic necessities that make their difficult lives just a bit easier.

We hope that someone is you.

A one-time gift will help us continue providing regular sponsorship support for these children until sponsors are found for them. Any amount will help with medical and dental care, clothing, educational support, family assistance, and more.

So please make a donation today to help us continue the important support these children need. Or sponsor a waiting child now.

HOPE FUND

Giving teens a chance to excel

We want to give disadvantaged teens opportunities…to learn and grow, to dream about the future and what it holds for them. And to realize their true talents and potential.

The HOPE Fund does that by Helping Overcome Poverty through Education.

Children International’s HOPE Fund helps give youth opportunities before they’re lost to poverty forever. By providing sponsored teens with that next step after high school – vocational training or the opportunity to attend college – we’re putting the tools they need within reach so they can leave poverty behind.

The HOPE Fund prepares youth for life. And now you can help by making a donation today.

MIRACLES ON HOLD

Sending care around the world

Crates filled with critically important medicines. Box after box of much-needed clothing. New shoes, books for hungry young minds, and household goods that ease the daily struggles of families living on the edge.

These are the products corporate partners make available to Children International at no charge. But because we have to pay to ship these items, they sit ready and waiting in a warehouse until we can afford to ship them.

They are the Miracles on Hold.

For every dollar you donate right now, we can deliver $15 worth of medicine, clothing and much more to families who need our immediate support.

You can help keep the miracles coming by donating right now.

ANTI-PARASITE

Stopping the spread of disease

Here’s the ugly truth...parasites are a real problem in poor communities. They sit in stagnant pools of filthy water and animal feces that children walk through barefoot – or even play in – because they don’t know any better.

They flourish in conditions that are common around the slum, and lurk undetected on dirty hands and feet that are easily passed on.

That’s why Children International’s anti-parasite campaign has been so important around the world. By providing anti-parasite medicine to children and families in hundreds of communities, we’re reducing infection rates and the complications associated with parasite infestations, while health and hygiene training are preventing reinfections.

Please help us stop parasites in their tracks by donating today. Your contribution will help us distribute regular doses of anti-parasite medication and continue spreading the word on prevention.

LIFELINE FOOD PROGRAM

A safety net for families in times of crisis

All around the world, food prices have skyrocketed…sometimes doubling or even tripling. And when you earn just a few dollars a day, the impact is immediate and devastating.

Parents who are already struggling can’t make ends meet. Children are getting sick and going hungry...or worse. They risk becoming malnourished and parents are powerless to stop it.

We see it every day in the communities where we work – desperate mothers urgently seeking help for their children.

Our Lifeline Food Program can help.

With your support – right now – we’ll be able to provide basic necessities to those on the verge of starvation.

Your contribution to our Lifeline Food Program will help us meet the need. Please donate now.
