ChildFund Alliance is a network of 11 child-focused development organizations. We work with more than 9 million children and their families in over 50 countries to overcome poverty and the underlying conditions that prevent children from achieving their full potential.
Together with children, we create sustainable solutions that protect and advance their rights and well-being.
Each member organization promotes child sponsorship as a comprehensive and meaningful approach to child development. ChildFund Alliance members create sustainable child-focused, community-based development programs in areas where children are impacted by war, natural disaster, poverty and global health issues such as HIV/AIDS.
Programs address education, health, nutrition, micro-enterprise and economic development, and emergency response and psychosocial interventions. ChildFund works in partnership with local communities. The participation of children themselves is a key component of our approach.
The ChildFund Alliance Secretariat oversees the day-to-day operations of the Alliance. It develops and works with members to implement Alliance-wide strategy, standards and policies. The Secretariat represents the Alliance at international forums such as the United Nations and the European Union.
In 2002, a group of 11 child-centered international development organizations joined together under the banner of ChildFund Alliance to become a global force for children. The Alliance creates opportunities for joint initiatives serving children and families in need. It improves the effectiveness of programs for children, increases efficiency and extends the reach and influence of the members by enhancing their individual and collective strengths. The Alliance builds on more than 75 years of its members’ experience in working to improve the lives of children, families and communities.
Alliance members work in more than 60 countries
