Childcare Worldwide

Education - Access to education helps children overcome poverty and develop into capable leaders. In many communities, school fees are unaffordable for families. Through the school fee program, 3,152 children received financial assistance to attend and stay in school in 2024. School supplies were provided to 715 children, and uniforms were given to 440. Relationships with school administrators were strengthened, and attendance was verified each term before paying fees. Educational and career counseling was offered to high school graduates and students struggling academically, helping them plan for the future.

Holistic Care - Physical needs can be barriers to receiving educational and spiritual messages. Childcare Worldwide provided over 2,800 holistic gifts in 2024, including water filters (648), mattresses (125), hygiene packs for teen girls (1,505), emergency food (254), and critical medical aid (9). Two medical screening events serving 413 children were hosted, and four water catchment systems were installed benefiting not only the Life Centers but also the greater communities. In addition to the critical assistance described above, every child in our program received Christmas and Easter gifts. At Easter, 4,500 food packs were distributed; at Christmas, 4,300 children received gifts. Throughout the year, more than 82,000 meals were served to children attending the weekly Life Center program.
