We VALUE our collaborations.
As a 100% volunteer-based non-profit, we join forces with amazing “on-the-ground” organizations to fulfill the basic needs of children.
THANK YOU to all our collaborators and the children for their testimonials.

Testimonial from Taabar
We fulfill the basic needs of children like Sonu, a 16 year old boy at Taabar. Information provided by Taabar
Sonu was living with his mother and siblings in U.P. and he has two brothers and one sister. Father left the family 8 years ago and their mother somehow raised children in difficult situation. Sonu started working in his early childhood to support the family because of that he dropped out from school. He came to Jaipur with his friend to work in a bangle making unit and started earning 4000/- per month {$50 a month}. Sonu was sending half of his earning to his mother. He was living with many other children in a small room and the employer was not providing appropriate and enough food to children working in the bangle making unit.

Our collaboration in Panama
Nutre Hogar, Santiago, home for malnourished children
Since July 2015 (our first trip), we have provided 11,402 diapers and hygiene items, 3,216 pounds of baby formula (that is over 1,600 CANS weighing 900 grams), and 958 pounds of food. But we don’t give-n-go…we share our love, we play with the children, and feed them daily during our time in Santiago. In past years, fourteen volunteers have traveled to Santiago
Testimonial from Milagros, Administrative Director of Nutre Hogar, Santiago

Nos emocionamos tanto porque sabíamos que nos venían ayudar para seguir con las puertas abiertas de nuestro centro para continuar con nuestra labor de dar esperanzas a niños con problemas de desnutrición, los nombres ramos ángeles para nuestros niños por que gracias a ellos los niños desnutridos podían tener muchos alimentos y fórmulas principalmente las más costosas del mercado y la que ellos necesitaban para poder salir de su problema de salud ,Estos ángeles cada año nos dejan fórmulas especiales y muy costosas cosa que nosotros no podemos hacerle frente por ser muy caras.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION: A beautiful day comes to Nutre Hogar Santiago a couple who belong to a project called A Childhood ford children. We were so excited because we knew they were coming to help us to continue with the open doors of our center to continue our work of giving hope to children with malnutrition problems, We named them angels for our children because thanks to them the malnourished children could have a lot of food and formulas, mainly the most expensive ones in the market and the one they needed to get out of their health problem. These angels every year leave us special and very expensive formulas that we can not afford because they are very expensive. They also dedicate time and give a lot of affection and love, every year that the children come to the center they feel this special affection, just like all the staff that works in the center we are very happy to have them. These angels are so important for the children, because without them it would be very difficult for us to continue with such a beautiful work.

Our past collaborations in Arusha and Moshi, Tanzania
Sometimes what starts as a Travel with a Purpose project can repeat…like our Climbing Kili for Kids, Tanzania, Sep. 2021
Our Climbing Kili for Kids campaign made it possible for us to serve over 800 children in Tanzania. Board members Radhika & John traveled to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and partnered with orphanages and schools to fulfill the basic needs of children, delivering:
- ~6,500 pounds food,
- ~5,000 notebooks, textbooks, and pencils
- 135 sweaters & 540 undergarments
- 30 mattresses, sheets, blankets
But it isn’t just about providing things, it is about spending time with the children and giving them all the love we can.
We then continued our recurring projects in 2022 and 2023 with each of the organizations. Novatus Morandu of The Toa Nafasi Project had this to say in their newsletter:
“Our partner, A Childhood for Children — introduced to us by angel investor Richard D’Avino — has done it again! Toa Nafasi is known for its service provision, but not for supplying goods, so we are immensely grateful to have received school supplies for the second year in a row that will go to support the neediest students we serve. Undoubtedly, the lack of supplies can undermine the progress of even the brightest students, but Radhika Narain, Wilfred Ngowi and the team at A Childhood for Children have ensured that nearly 300 public school students have the supplies they need to excel academically.”
Our previous collaborations:
We are proud to have partnered with the following organizations on a recurring basis, but due to lack of local Ambassadors, we were unable to continue our projects. When we are unable to continue projects, we don’t stop supporting children, we look to grow our partnerships!
