Children International has identified thousands of desperately poor children begging in the streets, lonely, hungry, sick and dying from diseases we can easily prevent.
But there is hope. Because when you become a sponsor, you’ll change one child’s life completely.

Sign up for a free sponsorship kit to learn more about the child who needs you >>
Your sponsorship gifts will provide your child with:

  • Emergency Food
  • Medical and Dental Care
  • Educational Support
  • Family Assistance
  • Clothes, Shoes and More!

In return, you’ll receive personal letters, updated photos and of course, the love and gratitude of your sponsored child. And now you can find out if sponsorship is right for you with absolutely no cost, no risk and no obligation.

Simply fill out the form on Care2 and Children International will rush you the photo and family history of a special boy or girl who desperately needs your love and help. Then, if you decide to become a sponsor, your gift will be only $22 a month. That’s only 72 cents a day.
You are under no obligation but we think once you learn more about this special child, you’ll want to become part of the Children International family. So, please sign up to request your free information kit now!

Stories From the Heart

Lives lived. Stories told. The seniors we serve are the same people who helped shape our nation. Using their minds, ingenuity and hard work, they were there when we needed them. They fought for our freedom, invented machines, developed medicines, dared to dream and ensured a brighter future for us all. Their stories are our stories. We share their stories with you in honor of all of the seniors whom we serve and who inspire us to do what we do. We are Meals On Wheels, and this is our story.

Mr. AlsworthMr. Alsworth

Mr. Alsworth credits Meals On Wheels with helping him get back on his feet after undergoing cancer treatment.

Back in 2010, Mr. Alsworth was losing weight and feeling weak while receiving chemo and radiation therapy. A health professional suggested Meals On Wheels might be an option.

Alsworth says, “It was exactly what I needed. It gave me energy. It really got me back into my life.”

“It’s like a foundation of a house,” he explains. “If you don’t have a good foundation on a house, you don’t have a house. Food does the same thing for your body.”

Mr. Alsworth also appreciates the kindness of the volunteers. “They talk to you and make sure you’re alright; they’re beautiful people. You can’t ask for more.”

We are Meals On Wheels, and this is our story.

What does education have to do with homes?


At Habitat, we believe the link between learning and housing is undeniable. Studies suggest that 115 million school-aged children around the world are not in school. And we know that children from the poorest households are more likely to be out of school than the rest of the population. These numbers are entirely unacceptable.

As Vice President of Global Program Development and Support, I am committed to doing all that I can to help ensure that, through Habitat’s efforts across the globe, more children and parents find the stable home environment in which learning can take root.

Your generous donation to Habitat today will give more children a chance to succeed.

More than 1/3 of the world’s population lives below the poverty line, subsisting on less than $1.25 per day — that’s over 2 billion people. Ceilings on the verge of collapse, dangerously exposed wiring, plumbing that doesn’t work, and the lack of heat in the dead of winter — living conditions like these contribute to homes where families must focus more on surviving than on thriving.

Safe and decent housing, the financial ability to cover school fees, and close proximity to schools are all contributing factors to a child’s opportunity to fulfill his or her academic potential. By developing innovative programs that account for all the needs a family has — including access to educational and learning opportunities — Habitat deepens its commitment to building a brighter future in which children and their parents can meet their full potential.

Your support will help to provide housing and hope for a better tomorrow for families around the world.

Having partnered with more than 400,000 families — including thousands of children — we are creating safe and stable environments where learning can take root. We’re helping build home environments where children can enjoy a quiet place to study — an opportunity to thrive.

Together, we are working to end poverty housing and to build the foundation for a brighter future for our children.

Thank you for your generous support.
