“It is a privilege to become part of the Children International team and to invite people to invest in this proven approach to breaking the cycle of poverty,” Currence said. “By walking alongside children in poverty, investors enable kids to grow up healthy, educated, empowered to make a difference, and employed. Together, those with great financial means and kids with great, spirited determination create a ripple effect that breaks the grip of poverty on whole families and communities. It is my personal mission to bring as many people as possible to this unique solution to poverty, transforming both the lives of children and donors in the process.”
