No Child Left Out

Every student at Lake Valley Boarding School is enrolled in our program

The remote town of Crownpoint is in northwestern New Mexico, near the Arizona border and the vast Navajo Nation. Within the town is our affiliated project Lake Valley Boarding School. As one of the smaller schools within the Bureau of Indian Affairs system, with only 33 children in attendance, Lake Valley Boarding School provides a safe haven for Navajo students whose homes are far away, and whose families are desperately poor. In addition to the […]

The Joy of Holiday Gifts

Christmas gifts from sponsors to kids in the Philippines bring happiness

Christmas is a special time of year for children all over the world. Children of all ages dream of what they might get under the tree on Christmas morning, hoping for a new toy or game to play. But for many of our sponsored and unsponsored kids, getting Christmas gifts is something that sometimes doesn’t happen. When families are living in poverty, they are often unable to save money throughout the year for Christmas gifts […]

Rarely Enough Food on the Weekends

Children in New Mexico face food scarcity at home

The remote town of Crownpoint, where our affiliated project Mariano Lake Community School is located, is in northwestern New Mexico, near the Arizona border and the vast Navajo Nation.

The To’Hajiilee Community School in New Mexico supports children in one of the poorest states in the U.S.

The To’Hajiilee (pronounced “toe-HA-ji-lee”) Community School is located in northern New Mexico in the area around Cañoncito.

Though not a part of the Nation, this area is still considered […]

Going the Extra Mile for Kids in Need

Denise Stepp goes above and beyond when it comes to the children at her school

Summers can be rather boring for children. While kids usually love the thought of being out of school and free from homework assignments, they often have a difficult time staying occupied and active. One woman from Warfield, Kentucky found a way to change that this summer. Denise Stepp, who serves jointly as the coordinator for the Warfield Elementary School Family Resource Center and as a volunteer coordinator for Children Incorporated’s child sponsorship program, established a […]

From Sponsored Child to Doctor

Our Higher Education Program Fund is helping a young man in India to get his pharmacy degree

Our Higher Education Program has helped hundreds of children over the years to receive an education beyond high school. Without the support of this special fund, many sponsored children who graduate from high school in the United States or abroad would not have the opportunity to pursue higher education, whether through vocational training, college or certification courses, or in some cases, masters or doctoral programs. Avi is receiving support, thanks to […]
