Sponsorship funds help promote literacy in Mitchell County, North Carolina
Mitchell County, nestled in the rugged western mountains of North Carolina, serves as a tourist destination for thousands who flock to the region each year to glimpse its spectacular vistas. The area’s breathtaking beauty and rich culture, however, belie a tragic truth: in this smallest and least populous county of all of North Carolina reside some of the nation’s poorest families. A community in need Years ago, this region boasted a number of productive feldspar […]
Excited About What the World Has to Offer
A child writes a special letter to his sponsor upon graduating from high school
One of our favorite aspects of what we do at Children Incorporated is pairing special individual sponsors with children to create lasting relationships, where each benefit from the other — the sponsor from knowing that they are helping a child in need, and the child from knowing that someone cares about them and their well-being, and is willing to support them so that they may obtain an education. We recently received a beautiful letter written […]
The Impact of Generosity
A donation from International Student Exchange has helped hundreds of children in the U.S.

One of our organization’s most difficult challenges is finding enough sponsors to support all the children referred to us by our network of volunteer coordinators. After being enrolled in our sponsorship program, some children wait many months — even years — before they are […]
Praise from Our Coordinators
Our volunteer coordinators in the United States share their stories of gratitude for our programs
Without a doubt, our volunteer coordinators are the backbone of our organization. Without help from these special teachers, guidance counselors, and resource center coordinators at our affiliated schools, we couldn’t reach thousands of children living in poverty every year, helping them to receive the basic needs they require in order to focus on getting an education. We have found that our volunteer coordinators are just as grateful for our programs as we are for their […]
Achieving Their Dreams
Our Higher Education Fund gives young adults the chance to receive an education beyond high school
The purpose of our Higher Education Fund is to assist young people enrolled in our sponsorship program with financial support so that they can attend college, university, or certification courses once they graduate from high school. The assistance they receive is one of the best ways to help break the cycle of poverty because higher education gives them the skills and training they need to make a living wage or better when they enter into […]
