The Kids Alive Story

Kids alive has been around for over 100 years

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!
