ChildFund International
United StatesChildren/Education
ChildFund International is inspired and driven by the potential that is inherent in all children; the potential not only to survive but to thrive, to become leaders who bring positive change for those around them. The heart of ChildFund International remains the one-to-one connection made through child sponsorship. Our work began in 1938 with an effort to build orphanages for the children who had been left without homes or families in the wake of the second Sino-Japanese War. These orphanages were funded by individuals in America who “sponsored” an orphaned child in China. This approach continues today. What began as a modest effort to build and operate orphanages, has evolved into a global force working for children encompassing the globe.
