Help a Child is a Christian, international relief and development organization, founded
in 1968 in The Netherlands. Help a Child provides a future for children in need, their
family, and their entire community. By empowering vulnerable communities we help
them to change their living conditions and opportunities in a sustainable way.
Help a Child works in areas with a high incidence of poverty or in places where children
and families are extra vulnerable due to disasters or (imminent) conflicts.
