On the Road
Poverty Threatens not Only Children’s Health, but also Their Education
When children aren’t healthy, they are at risk of missing school and falling behind
As a child assistance organization, Children Incorporated understands well the correlation between children’s health and their ability to receive an education. We often hear from our volunteer coordinators at our affiliated projects in the United States and abroad that children living in poverty are at risk of falling behind in school. Our coordinators often note that children haven’t eaten over the weekend, so they are too hungry to concentrate in class; or sometimes that kids […]
Praise from Our Coordinators
Our volunteer coordinators in the United States share their stories of gratitude for our programs

Our U.S. Division has grown quickly over the years thanks to our great partnerships. When Children Incorporated began in 1964, our focus was […]
Sending Relief After Flash Floods
Our Hope In Action Fund helps families in Dunlow, West Virginia after severe flooding

Automation of mines and the ecological stigmas attached to coal as a fuel source have seriously damaged Wayne County’s economy. With coal mining almost shut down, all businesses that once depended on mining – and the buying power of the miners — […]
