Every child deserves a healthy, hopeful future.
Each year, millions of children around the world tragically die from treatable or preventable illnesses. Those living in low- and middle-income countries are disproportionately affected due to systemic disparities.
At Children’s Place International, we work with community-based partners to support these vulnerable children in regaining their health and pursuing their dreams – breaking the cycle of injustice.
Through our global Child Thrive projects, we prevent the deaths and trauma of thousands of young people. We also support their journey out of poverty so they can live their fullest lives and become catalysts for change in their communities.
Together, with young people leading the way, we help transform the world in remarkable ways!
Our Child Thrive framework provides a continuum of services tailored to each young person’s unique needs and environment for lifelong well-being:

Voices of Impact
Michel lost his parents and six siblings to HIV/AIDS at a young age. Growing up alone in Haiti, he often didn’t know if he’d have enough medicine to survive, food to eat, or funds to study. But he dreamed of being a teacher and opening a school to help other children like him.
With years of ongoing support from Children’s Place International, Michel has graduated with a degree in education sciences and is on his way to achieving his dream. His success story would not be possible without those who believed in him and our mission.
“Your support has helped me to build a better future. I would never be able to reach this level of earning my civil engineering degree without you.”
“After I entered this program, my life changed. This program is so important! When my children’s school expels students for debt, I stay calm and proud because the program has restored my dignity. My children are able to stay in their classrooms.”
“When I met Children’s Place, they rented a house for me. They gave me food to eat with the kids. They sent the kids to school for me, with uniforms and shoes. I was so relieved. I really felt I joined a family.”
“I am who I am today because of the Children’s Place International [afterschool] program. The program helped me live with values and intention. It reduced my stress and uncertainty about the future. I never felt alone while in the program.”
“When I became really sick, I thought everything was over for me. I couldn’t pay school fees or buy food for my children. I couldn’t get to the doctor or the pharmacy. It was Children’s Place that helped me with these things. Now, my children go to school and live like all children live.”
