Children International is a nonprofit humanitarian organization dedicated to bettering the lives of impoverished children, their families and communities.
The organization states that it achieves its goals primarily through private donations and monthly child sponsorship, which provides a real one-to-one connection between a single child and a donor. Sponsorship aims to give poor children the tools and opportunities necessary for success by providing benefits and supporting programs for each child—primarily in the areas of education, health, and youth.
The Children International Sponsorship Program as of 2012, benefits more than 340,000 impoverished children and their families in eleven countries, including Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Mexico, the Philippines, the United States, and Zambia.

Famous quotes containing the word children:
“Out came the children running.
All the little boys and girls,
With rosy cheeks and flaxen curls,
And sparkling eyes and teeth like pearls,
Tripping and skipping, ran merrily after
The wonderful music with shouting and laughter.”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
