Donate to the General Fund
Prince lives in Liberia, an African nation scarred by years of unrest. His 15-year-old mother, Mary, an orphan, holds onto hope for a better life for her son.

Because Children Can’t Wait …

Hunger. Illness. Violence. Despair. Those are facts of life for children in the world’s forgotten places. With your generous gift to the Global Action Fund, you help us carry out our worldwide mission to create lasting change in the lives of children in need. Some need food, medicine or books. Others need safety in the midst of conflict or the aftermath of disaster.

Children are Our Future. Invest Now.
Saving the lives of innocent children is the right thing to do. Period. But we also give them hope for a bright future and make their lives better. In 2010, we reached more than 73 million children around the world and in the United States. Now that’s hope!

That’s why the is Global Action Fund the key to helping children survive and thrive. Not tied to any single project or country, the fund helps us do what we do best, wherever the need is greatest.

Children Depend on the Global Action Fund

Right Place at the Right Time: Support for a global network provides footholds in the world’s “hot spots,” as well as in the world’s most desperate, isolated places.

In Haiti, our emergency responders were there to give medical aid when little Winnie was pulled from the rubble after the 2010 earthquake, before donations started coming in.

Knowledge-based Innovation: Your investment in cutting-edge technology and innovation supports the research needed to find solutions and reproduce results.

In Guatemala, children like Gaspar are healthier because we’re training and equipping frontline health workers to make house calls to stop the top killers of children – childbirth complications, diarrhea and pneumonia.

Sustainable Solutions: With your help, we make sure the mission drives the program.

Here in the USA and worldwide, we are growing our early-childhood-development programs where kids like Ashley learn their ABCs and other basics. Programs that aren’t glamorous can be life-changing, too.

How You Can Help

Please support our mission with a gift to our Global Action Fund. You can count on us to be good stewards of your generous donation in support of all our work around the world.
