ABOUT US

Releasing Children From Poverty in Jesus’ Name

We commit to honor Jesus Christ in all that we do. Jesus is the core of our ministry and his life and teachings shape our programs.

THIS IS WHO WE ARE

We are advocates for children, committed to Jesus Christ in all that we do.

Jesus is the core of our ministry and his life and teachings shape our programs, reflect the spiritual commitments of our staff, and guide how we love people, respect communities and cooperate with nations.

We are Christ-centered, church-based and child-focused.

That is what makes us distinct from other child sponsorship organizations.

We are the world’s leading authority in holistic child development through sponsorship.

THIS IS WHAT WE DO

We release children from poverty in Jesus’ name. That is our mission.

Through a holistic approach to child development, we carefully blend physical, social, economic and spiritual care together…in Jesus’ name.

Since 1952 when Rev. Everett Swanson first flew to South Korea to minister to American troops fighting in the Korean War and felt compelled to help the orphans he saw on the streets, we have worked to help children realize their full potential and develop into all God intends them to be.
