Give Kids The World Village is an 89-acre nonprofit resort in Kissimmee, Florida that provides critically ill children and their families with week-long wish vacations at no cost.

Half of all critically ill children eligible for a wish choose to visit Central Florida and its theme parks. Give Kids The World aims to fulfill that wish, providing children and their families with all-inclusive vacations including transportation, accommodations, food, theme park tickets, and entertainment. Give Kids The World has accommodated nearly 177,000 families from all 50 U.S. states and 76 countries throughout its history, and has been given a four-star rating from Charity Navigator for 15 years in a row, a rating in the top 1% of U.S. charities.
