At Free The Children, we know the power of friendship and meaningful connections. Each relationship we build and each story we hear or help shape will, in some way, change us forever.
Our story is founded on realizing the ties that bind us as a global family—a family with a shared dream: helping young people reach their full potential and spreading hope to poor communities.
We know that empowering young people at home to make a difference goes hand-in-hand with creating sustainable solutions for communities in the developing world.
We invite you to show support for your global family and see how friendship can change the world.
On average, only nine cents of every dollar donated is used for administrative purposes. 91 cents goes directly toward helping children.
An education is the first step to helping children break free from the cycle of poverty. But first, we must empower their mothers, improve their schools, outfit their health clinics and build clean water facilities. That’s because hope for a better future comes with holistic solutions— with an understanding that everyone and everything, in some way, is joined together.
Today’s young people are the generation of shameless idealists our world has been waiting for. That’s where the inspiration starts—right here at home. With your support, our programs help to awaken the spirit of leadership in young people and teach life-lasting skills. By raising funds and awareness for overseas development, young people are on the forefront of social change; a generation of passionate global citizens with an unstoppable drive to create stronger communities at home and abroad.
The monetary amounts shown represent the average costs of Free The Children projects in the communities in which we work. In cases where donations exceed what is needed or local conditions prevent program implementation, Free The Children will redirect funds to similar activities to help people in need. If additional funding is required because of specific project requirements or challenging local conditions, Free The Children may provide additional funding to complete the project to meet our commitment to our beneficiaries.
