CHILD International

Overview

CHILD International is a U.S. nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting displaced and underprivileged children. The organization aims to empower these children to reach their full potential by providing access to education, housing, and family assistance programs.

Mission

CHILD International focuses on helping marginalized populations, including refugees, forced migrants, victims of natural disasters, and asylum seekers. The organization strives to create a world where all displaced and underprivileged children have the opportunity to build a life of dignity.

Programs

Adopt-a-Family Program: This program provides long-term support to families in need, offering assistance with housing, healthcare resources, educational resources, job search, career development, home furnishings, and food and nutrition.

Academic Scholarships: CHILD International offers scholarships to support underprivileged high school and college students with tuition and school supplies.

Seasonal Initiatives: The organization conducts annual drives, such as the Nowruz Drive, which aims to distribute resources to children and their families during the Nowruz New Year celebrations in various cultures. This drive supports over 300 children and families through their Refugee Relief and Adopt-a-Family Program, and funds projects in underprivileged regions.

Funding and Operations

In response to rising costs, CHILD International has increased its donations from $30 to $40 per child for specific programs. Each child receives $40 in cash, and their family members receive checks and additional items like toys and clothing. The organization relies on donations to fund its programs and operations.

Objectives

CHILD International seeks to empower children and their families by providing essential resources and opportunities. By supporting education, housing, and family assistance, the organization aims to break cycles of disadvantage and help marginalized children integrate into their communities as valued and contributing members.
