Our Mission

CHILD International is dedicated to help displaced children reach their full potential through empowerment, access to education, housing, and family assistance programs

Our Vision

CHILD International was founded on providing education and family assistance through our various program internationally. We envision a future where all displaced children have an equal opportunity for a successful life.

Founded in 2004, CHILD International is a non-political, non-sectarian volunteer based nonprofit organization that aims to provide equal opportunities for displaced and underprivileged children by empowering them, providing them access to education, housing and family assistance programs.

We define displaced people as refugees, forced-migrants, victims of natural disasters and asylum seekers and are committed to helping the children of this marginalized population. Our desire has been to create a world where all displaced and underprivileged children are members of a global community where they are provided with the opportunity and resources to build a life of dignity.

We believe this can be achieved through individual empowerment, access to education, housing and family assistance programs that aim to successfully integrate these children and their families into their new environment.
