Here for children since 1938.
Why? Because we need each other.


ChildFund is a global community of people who care about children and take action to help them grow up healthy, educated, skilled and safe. Together we’re creating a world where all children live at their fullest potential at every stage of their lives.

That’s why we partner to support children facing challenges no child should have to. As part of ChildFund Alliance, we reach children in 70 countries. Here in the U.S., supporters can sponsor children in 23 countries.

We need each other, every single one of us.

 

Who We Are

  • A maroon icon of two open hands holding a small child figure, symbolizing care, safety, and protection.

    Child-focused

    We exist for children – and their voices and experiences guide everything we do. Each year, we reach millions of children and family members contending with poverty through programs that support them to create the conditions children need to thrive.

    Community-centered

    As a community development organization, we work hand in hand with local partner organizations to diminish the impact of poverty on children. Because local people know their own needs best.

    People-first

    We believe that people are people, no matter their circumstances or experiences, and that their value is intrinsic and immeasurable. We strive to honor the dignity of every child in our programs and every human being we meet, no matter what.
