If children are the future, their now matters.
We fuel sustainable social change at multiple levels so every child can fulfill their right to grow up healthy, educated, skilled and — above all — safe. As part of ChildFund Alliance, our reach extends to children in 70 countries. Our impact is …
Impact by the people, with the people:
ChildFund's local partners
Individual and institutional support allows us to invest in about 200 community-based organizations around the globe — over $600 million in the last 10 years — to support and protect children. Because locally led change lasts.
Our Focus Areas

-
Health
We implement programs that support nutrition, maternal and child health, sexual and reproductive health education, infectious disease prevention, and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) initiatives.
-
Education & Early Childhood Development
We ensure access to quality education in safe and inclusive environments, and we help families create the conditions their youngest children need to thrive in those critical first five years — so all children can learn and grow at their fullest potential.
-
Youth Livelihoods
Largely but not solely focused on youth, our approach promotes agency, skill building, healthy relationships and civic engagement so they can participate in the decision-making that affects their lives.
-
Protecting Children
Strengthening community-based child protection systems, implementing programs to support psychosocial well-being and advocating for change at local and national levels, we help children stay safe wherever they are — at home, at school and online.
-
Children in Crisis
Our humanitarian response approaches create impact with children, youth and families at risk of migration, during displacement and needing humanitarian assistance, and starting over in host communities or after returning home.
-
Building Sustainability
Through programs that emphasize resilience building and environmental care, we’re inspiring today’s young minds to be an active part of the global sustainability conversation.
