What We Do

Around the world, more than 140 million kids have lost one or both parents. Millions more are at serious risk of losing their families. These kids are experiencing hunger, extreme poverty, loss, exploitation and neglect. But because of you, their lives will take a dramatic turn.

Through your generosity and compassion, you can help:

Keep Families Together

We empower families and communities to tackle the root causes of poverty and injustice.

Care for Homeless Kids

We partner with local experts to advocate and care for kids living without their families.
