Children Incorporated provides life-changing resources to children around the world because we passionately believe that every child deserves education, hope and opportunity.

Children Incorporated is a top-rated international nonprofit organization that supports children and families who face challenges due to poverty. Through partnerships with 225 affiliated sites around the world, Children Incorporated provides basic needs to children so they can attend school, receive an education and have the opportunity to succeed.

Thanks to their network of volunteer coordinators, Children Incorporated is able to offer individual care to each child in our program so we can ensure they are receiving exactly what they need at all times. Children Incorporated partners with already-established schools, group homes, and community centers to address the specific needs of the children they serve, offering each child basic needs every month.
