About Us
Going to the ends.
Where no one else goes.
Because Jesus is alive in the hardest places to be a child.
Dangerously soft-hearted.
But just the right kind of dangerous.
That’s because we’re a global Christian humanitarian organization. We partner with children, families, and their communities to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice.

Empowering people out of poverty.
For real. For good. Since 1950.
Jesus’ love at the center. Always.
We’re Christian — as in we follow Jesus’ example to show unconditional love to the poor and oppressed. Serving every child we can – of any faith or none. Learn more about the Jesus we serve and how we share God’s love in culturally sensitive ways.

Believing that no child is lost.
No situation is hopeless.
Because our hope is in Jesus.
A history of taking action – even if it wasn’t popular.
When you go too far for the vulnerable and the ignored… beautiful things happen.
