What They Do
Kids Alive provides residential care to orphaned and vulnerable children through "family-style homes." They also offer community service care centers that provide healthy meals, basic medical care, spiritual guidance, and education in order to preserve and strengthen families and keep children at home. Kids Alive has established schools, medical clinics, and other community outreach programs such as disaster relief and their landmark “Keeping Families Together” initiative, which seeks to support poor and vulnerable families.
