Kids Alive is a Christian charity that cares for some of the world's most vulnerable and traumatised children, of all faiths and none.
We work in six countries and serve some of the most vulnerable and traumatised in each one. Children forced to work long hours in dangerous quarries in Kenya - traumatised Syrian refugee kids living in abject poverty in Lebanon - kids abandoned on street corners by their parents in Zambia - child victims of unspeakable sexual assault in Guatemala and Peru - the poorest of the poor in troubled Haiti. And so many more.

Our Mission:
Caring for traumatised and vulnerable children around the world
We identify some of the most traumatised and vulnerable children in the six countries we work in and provide a range of interventions to care for them. Trauma care and counselling - catch-up education support - family strengthening - we even pursue justice in some of our projects in cases of child sexual assault - and so much more. All in a loving Christian environment.
“Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow.”
Isaiah 1: 17 (NKJV)

Maria's story
from Guatemala
Not yet 17, Maria has already lived through more trauma than most endure in a lifetime. Hers is a remarkable story of God’s transformation and one that demonstrates the impact your support for us is having on vulnerable children like her throughout the world.
The breakup of her parents, sexual abuse by a stepfather, pregnancy at 13, betrayal and rejection by family, relocation to a place where she knew no one – any one of these would scar a child.
