Who We Are
“’Set free those who are held by chains without any reason. Untie the ropes that hold people as slaves. Set free those who are crushed. Break every evil chain. Share your food with hungry people. Provide homeless people with a place to stay. Give naked people clothes to wear.’” -Isaiah 58:6-7

Our History
For nearly 60 years, Child Impact International has met the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of vulnerable children, breaking cycles of generational poverty through education and fighting exploitation. Originally founded as Asian Aid, our first sponsorship program launched in 1966 in India. Since then, it has grown to support over 5,000 students currently receiving one-on-one sponsorship.
In 2014, Operation Child Rescue was initiated to rescue children and eradicate forms of human trafficking, including: sexual exploitation, child marriage, bonded servitude, child abuse, and child abandonment. Over ten years later, Child Impact International is an emerging leader in the fight against human trafficking with 30 projects in 17 countries and counting.
Our generous supporters have partnered with us to bring hope and a brighter future to thousands of vulnerable children in over 20 countries across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. Child Impact remains committed to transforming the lives of vulnerable children.
Our Financial Efficiency
Child Impact International has a proven track record of efficiently and effectively using gifts, working to maximize the value of every dollar received so that 87.4% of your gift goes directly to support vulnerable children. Our work is 100% funded by supporters as we do not receive government funding (USAID, etc.).
