Children International was founded in 1936 and is currently helping more than 320,000 underprivleged children and their families all across the world, including countries such as Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Mexico, the Philippines, the United States and Zambia.

Their mission is to help children living in dire poverty. They accomplish this through contributions that help providing children with program benefits and services that meet their basic needs, enhance their human dignity and raise their physical and educational levels.

Child sponsorship establishes a relationship between individual donors and sponsored children. Sponsors provide a monthly gift, which is used to help provide benefits for their sponsored children.

Children International has found that pairing one child with one sponsor is a very effective way for families to be involved in helping others and to teach their children the value of giving to benefit those who are less privileged than themselves.

The range of services that they provide to the children include: medical care and nutritional support, educational assistance, clothing, material aid, youth programs, and housing programs.
