Assisting children in need in the

United States and overseas

since 1964

Our MissionAssisting impoverished children in the U.S. and abroad through already

established schools, orphanages, and

childcare centers. We facilitate sponsorships, maintain several special

funds, and manage several projects on an

as-needed basis.

Our VisionTo assist children in every country by collaborating

with more schools, orphanages and childcare centers dedicated to the maintenance, support,

education, and welfare of needy children everywhere.

HISTORY 1964 2009

After personally witnessing the deprivation of children in Guatemala, our founder, Mrs. Jeanne Clarke Wood, established Children, Incorporated in 1964

Over 40 years ago, we began our first project in Guatemala with 95 children

We now assist over 17,000 children in 24 countries around the world, including the United States

Latin American Division

Foreign Division

American Indian Division

Inner City Division

Appalachian Division

Latin American DivisonThese are typical living conditions of the families we assist in Latin America. Many live as squatters in overcrowded neighborhoods with limited access to safe drinking water. Few, if any homes have indoor plumbing or electricity.

Political and social unrest, coupled with flooding and natural disasters, perpetuate the cycle of poverty

Foreign DivisionLack of education, cultural infighting and government practices in countries like Kenya, India and Lebanon have given way to long term poverty with little hope in sight.

American Indian tribes have endured much turmoil through the years. Though isolated, their land represents their heritage and culture, and it is their home. Families find themselves struggling to make a living with the resources available.

American Indian Division

Children are forced to cope with the daily influences of street gangs, random acts of violence, and drug abuse

Homelessness is commonplace, many inner city families move frequently from one temporary dwelling to another

Single parent homes are the majority, often headed by grandmothers, aunts, and non-related caregivers who barely scrape by financially

Inner City Division

Appalachian Division

Many Appalachian families continue to live in severely substandard rural housing.

Many also lack the education needed to compete for a limited amount of well-paid jobs.

We don’t re-invent the wheel. Instead, we affiliate with already established orphanages,schools and childcare centers who have thestaff to manage our program on a volunteer basis. This allows us to provide food, clothing, healthcare and education to children in need.

Children, Incorporated Success Stories

“I have wanted to sponsor a child for awhile, and I chose CI because, as you know, a CI sponsor made a big difference in my life as a child. Now that I am in a stable financial situation, I hope that I can make a difference in some child’s life, myself. I am so grateful to organizations such as CI, whose constant vigilance enables children to succeed in even the hardest circumstances. Thank you, again.”

-Amanda HarveyA formerly sponsored child who is now sponsoring a

child herself.Marcela Molina, once a sponsored child on our program, is now a graduate of law school. She is also one of our regional coordinators in Latin America.
