We care for some of the world's most vulnerable children

Children who have suffered unimaginable abuse, abandonment, neglect, have lost one or more parent, live in abject poverty, sometimes as refugees.

We are a UK Christian charity that cares for some of the world’s most vulnerable children, of all faiths and none. 


 We do this by supporting about 40 projects in seven developing countries, all in some of the most difficult places in the world. Impoverished Syrian refugee children in Lebanon; child victims of unspeakable sexual assault in Guatemala; abandoned and orphaned HIV children who would otherwise be working in quarries in Kenya; and so many more. We provide all round loving and holistic care for all of them, with four clear goals for each one.

Our Mission: Caring for some of the world’s most vulnerable children


At Kids Alive International we believe every child, even those with the most challenging needs, is a priority to God and far too many are overlooked, unheard, exploited, and threatened.  Our mission is the call of Isaiah 1:17, to serve these children by constantly learning to do good, earnestly seeking justice, standing up to what oppresses them, and advocating for their rights.

“Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.  Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”

Psalm 82:3-4

Maria's story
from Guatemala

Not yet 17, Maria has already lived through more trauma than most endure in a lifetime. Hers is a remarkable story of God’s transformation and one that demonstrates the impact your support for us is having on vulnerable children like her throughout the world.

The breakup of her parents, sexual abuse by a stepfather, pregnancy at 13, betrayal and rejection by family, relocation to a place where she knew no one – any one of these would scar a child. But layered one at a time over a young girl’s heart, they shattered Maria and left her almost impenetrable. It would take a long time and intense loving therapy to break through the walls she had constructed to survive, to protect herself.

It wasn’t always this way. Maria had a loving single mum and pleasant memories of her first few years – playing with cousins, family holiday celebrations, visiting relatives in other towns. But life began to change when her mother met a man and made a quick decision to marry. The man promised to take good care of the family…
