WHAT WE DO AND HOW IT WORKS

WE RECEIVE NOMINATIONS

Each year, thousands of humanitarians from all over the world are nominated for their commitment and dedication to helping children. 

WE FUND TOP HUMANITARIANS

Every application is reviewed, and the top five nonprofit leaders making the greatest impact on issues affecting children today are selected to join an elite family of Honorees.

WE INVESTIGATE

Finalists are fully vetted by an independent global security firm to be sure their work on paper is exactly the work being done in the field. That means, we know exactly where and how our funding is being used … down to the programs and children who are being directly impacted.

Since 1998, World of Children has dedicated more than $14 million to programs supporting children led by nearly 120 Honorees working in over 60 countries.

Delivering lasting impact takes hard work every day of the year. Choosing to make an affordable, tax-deductible gift each month will make a world of difference for children who deserve a future filled with hope and happiness.

Disabilities

Children who cannot walk, go to school, play with friends or lead an independent life because of their disability are often orphaned or abandoned because of their differences. We help to provide medical care, recovery, mobility and education so that these children have the opportunity to defy social stigmas and lead a fulfilled life.

Bullying

The effects of bullying can attack a child’s well being. It can severely impact their mental health, drive them to substance abuse, and elevate the risk suicide. It has no place in today’s society, and we’re working with programs to help children maintain high self-esteem and a sense of well-being to eliminate bullying all together.
