ChildFund Alliance is a network of 11 child-focused development organizations working in more than 50 countries around the world. With an annual turnover of more than $500 million, ChildFund Alliance helps an estimated 9 million children and their families to overcome poverty.
ChildFund Alliance is a worldwide alliance of child-focused development organizations working to improve the lives of vulnerable and excluded children, and helping them overcome poverty and achieve their rights.
Founded over 75 years ago, our members are not-for-profit organizations working with children, families and their communities. The Alliance seeks to speak with one global voice for, with and on behalf of children.
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
