Global partners

partnering with charities, businesses and people to help children

Children International works with organizations around the world to better the lives of children in poverty. We partner with other organizations in several ways, from grants to employee giving and matching programs to gifts in kind and much more.

Children International’s emphasis on community engagement provides the basis for a range of partnership opportunities with corporations, foundations and other institutions to combat poverty and achieve the development goals of the countries where we work. Our experience working with families and communities since 1936 has shown us that escaping poverty can be a realistic goal when we join forces to help children and youth reach their potential.
