Mission

Childcare Worldwide (CW) transforms children's lives by exposing them to the gospel of Jesus Christ, providing for their physical needs, and sponsoring their education. We connect sponsors with children through Christ-based life centers. With sponsors and life centers removing barriers, children grow spiritually and physically into thriving productive adults.

Program accomplishments

  • Spiritual Development - In 2024, Childcare Worldwide's Life Center program served an average of 1,643 children weekly through 74 Life Centers in partnership with 66 local churches. Each week, children gathered for biblical instruction, mentorship, music, games, and a nutritious meal. Churches (carefully screened to ensure missional and biblical alignment) provided facilities, teachers, and pastoral support; programming, training, curriculum, materials, and food were supplied by CW. In 2024, Life Center Membership was launched, allowing 455 non-sponsorship children, including 80 first-time participants, to experience Life Centers. All 4000+ children in our program participated in Easter and Christmas celebrations which included gospel messages, parties, and holistic gifts. (Continued in Schedule O)Hope Pack (Easter) and Love Pack (Christmas) parties continued to be the highlights of the year for all our 4000+ children. At these holiday celebrations (held at Life Centers), children receive gifts and enjoy food, festivity and most of all the gospel message. Easter Hope Packs contained staple food and devotional materials for families. At Christmas, children received Love Packs filled with practical and faith-centered gifts. These seasonal outreaches reinforced the gospel message and provided joy to children and their families. With about 63% of the child population being in high school or college and unable to attend weekly Life Centers, teen-focused special events and spiritual resources continued to support older students. Twelve special Life Center events throughout the year focused on spiritual growth, leadership, and fellowship among teens and young adults. Participants also received weekly devotional guides and joined virtual small groups for deeper discipleship and connection.

  • Education - Access to education helps children overcome poverty and develop into capable leaders. In many communities, school fees are unaffordable for families. Through the school fee program, 3,152 children received financial assistance to attend and stay in school in 2024. School supplies were provided to 715 children, and uniforms were given to 440. Relationships with school administrators were strengthened, and attendance was verified each term before paying fees. Educational and career counseling was offered to high school graduates and students struggling academically, helping them plan for the future.
    Expenses $1,012,625 · grants $893,473
  • Holistic Care - Physical needs can be barriers to receiving educational and spiritual messages. Childcare Worldwide provided over 2,800 holistic gifts in 2024, including water filters (648), mattresses (125), hygiene packs for teen girls (1,505), emergency food (254), and critical medical aid (9). Two medical screening events serving 413 children were hosted, and four water catchment systems were installed benefiting not only the Life Centers but also the greater communities. In addition to the critical assistance described above, every child in our program received Christmas and Easter gifts. At Easter, 4,500 food packs were distributed; at Christmas, 4,300 children received gifts. Throughout the year, more than 82,000 meals were served to children attending the weekly Life Center program.
