Children’s Place International is part of Children’s Place Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that opened in 1991 during the HIV/AIDS crisis to address the challenges facing youth in Chicago’s underserved communities.
Children’s Place International launched in 2007 to extend that mission overseas by providing access to health and well-being for some of the world’s most vulnerable populations. Since then, we have provided in-depth support to tens of thousands of children and their caregivers across nine countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
We embrace equity in all facets of our work. By partnering with local community-based organizations and taking a strengths-based approach, we close the access gap to healthcare, education, and opportunity for vulnerable children.
