Who we are
Our legacy of child sponsorship and human connection began in 1950 when our founder, Bob Pierce, gave the last $5 in his pocket to help care for an orphaned little girl in China.
Today, with over 33,000 staff in almost 100 countries, we continue his journey as a dynamic Christian relief, development and advocacy organization impacting the world.
Our mission is inclusive. We collaborate with communities, supporters, partners and governments to transform the lives of the world’s most vulnerable people regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender.
With one voice, we can move mountains. Join us, and together we can change the world.
