Serving the Poorest of the Poor

New Program -- Child of the Month

All across the Caribbean and Latin America millions of children desperately need your help. These children face a shortage of the basic necessities, sometimes not even having enough food to eat. They live in sub-human conditions and many don’t even have the opportunity to attend school. But you can make a difference. As a Child of the Month program participant you simply decide how much you want to give each month and that money goes directly to programs that focus exclusively on poor children throughout the third world.
