With an average household income of $371.00 a month in his community, families like Cristofer David's barely earn enough to cover daily necessities, let alone make plans for the future.

It takes just one person to create lasting, positive change in Child Name’s life. Your monthly gift of $39 empowers him/her with the skills, support, and opportunities he/she needs to forge a path out of poverty.

Children International is proud to support children, families and communities in Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, the Philippines and Zambia.
82% of Children International’s total operating expenses fund programs for children and youth. So, the majority of your donation dollars go toward exactly what you intended — supporting children in poverty.
Child sponsorship is a voluntary, ongoing contribution you can cancel at anytime — you’re in charge of how long you sponsor (and how many kids you sponsor).
You can make changes to your monthly giving anytime. Please contact our Care Team to adjust, delay, or cancel. And because of our ongoing commitment to our children from the time of sponsorship through graduation, your child will continue to receive benefits from the program, and we will work to find them another sponsor as soon as possible.
Children International is a global child and youth development organization connecting people in the fight to end poverty for good. Headquartered in Kansas City, we work in 10 countries, serving 218,000+ children to create lasting change in their lives, enabling them to reach their full potential and forge a better future for themselves.
Ending poverty begins with children, so we focus on programs and opportunities for children and youth for the first two decades of their lives. We strengthen entire communities through the work of our local, professional staff, providing health and education access and assistance, empowerment and career readiness programs, and by cultivating partnerships that help children and families break the cycle of generational poverty.
