A Living Mission Statement and the Evolution of a Children's Charity |
| |
|
| |
 |
Like most private initiatives in international aid and development, World Children's Relief was founded by a family. In 2001 the Lodmell family established an Arizona based public charity with the mission to support education and alleviate the suffering of children through grant writing to reputable children's charities in Africa, Latin America and Haiti. World Children's Relief also sponsored dozens of volunteer dental and medical missions. |

As the organization began to build field staff and manage programs, the focus became more defined as a service organization. It became clear our most effective interventions were when we gave a hand up, instead of a hand out. We evolved to strictly a service organization and specialists in the transformation of schools from Rote style classrooms to child-centered /child friendly learning environments. Our goal is to evolve the quality of education as opposed to the quantity of access, for example. Today, World Children's Relief drives perhaps the most innovative and sustainable model in African development assistance with a focus on Early Childhood Development and primary education. |
