Children Need You Today there are between 147 and 210 million orphans worldwide and they need you to make a difference. Our mission is to help orphanages, orphan relief efforts and at-risk children in areas of the world where few - if any - social services are available. We build momentum for change through relationships. By partnering with people like you, like-minded organizations and businesses, children around the globe reap the benefit. Helping children begins with you... Caring for children around the world starts with your support. With your help we can provide boys and girls across the globe with the basic needs such as food, shelter, education, medicine and a family of people who care about them. Every child has a story that explains how they became an orphan; stories of abuse, neglect, poverty, homelessness and abandonment are all common themes.
