Kids Alive empowers abused, neglected, and vulnerable children in some of the hardest places. Join us in creating thriving families and communities by giving hope to children through restorative education, family strengthening, protective care, and justice advocacy.
Kids Alive International began in 1916 in Shantung Province, China, where missionaries Leslie and Ava Anglin began taking in abandoned Chinese children. Since then, Kids Alive has grown into a global force caring for thousands of children every year. With the same heart for advocating for the marginalized, our programs have grown and evolved into restorative education, protective care, justice advocacy, and family strengthening. We’re on a mission to reach even more lives with the love of Christ!
Our StoryAt Kids Alive, we combine faith-based and science-based practices in our approach to trauma prevention and healing. By integrating evidence-based methodologies with biblical principles, we provide holistic care for vulnerable children, families, and communities. With compassion, we share the transformative teachings of Jesus, spreading love and hope.
