Children International

What they say:

"Since 1936 Children International's mission has been to help children living in dire poverty. Through the generosity of contributors, we provide needy children with a variety of programs and services to meet their basic needs, enhance their human dignity and raise their physical and educational levels in a meaningful, lasting way. Today we help children in 9 countries - Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, India, the Philippines and the United States. And through programs in the West Bank/Jerusalem area, Kenya, Uganda and Zambia, we're giving hope to children and adults affected by extreme poverty. For only $18 per month, you can sponsor a needy child to grow up healthy and educated."
