Mission, Vision & Core Values

Some of the children in our Homes are "true orphans". For many of our children, however, one parent is dead or absent while the other is unable or unwilling to take care of the child. Kids Alive ministers to street children, children who have been abandoned, and victims of abuse, war, disease and poverty.

In addition to children's homes we also operate schools and care centres. Most of our children enter our program at the age of 4 or 5 years and stay with us until they have completed their secondary education.

Vision

Kids Alive International will reflect the love of Christ by rescuing suffering children-in-crisis.

Mission

Kids Alive International will reflect the love of Christ by rescuing suffering children-in-crisis, nurturing them with quality holistic care and introducing them to the transforming power of Jesus Christ so they are enabled to instill hope in others.

Core Values

Faith-Based - God alone transforms lives. As we rescue children-in-crisis, we submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, depend on the power of the Holy Spirit, accept the authority of the scriptures and make prayer central to our ministry.

Action-Oriented - We follow the example of Jesus Christ. We work to build just societies as we respond with sacrificial love to the world's suffering children.

Child-Focused - We believe children should have opportunity to mature and develop their full potential. We care for the whole child by providing for the full range of spiritual, educational, social, physical, and emotional needs.

An International Partnership of Churches - We are an international team with local churches as partners. We all benefit from jointly cultivating local leadership and developing culturally relevant, caring communities for children. The children of Kids Alive International homes will be prepared to lead in church and home with integrity.

Committed to Excellence - We intend to be known for our determined pursuit of quality, the integrity of our relationships, the clarity of our communication, and our accountability with human and financial resources entrusted to us.

Family-Centred - We believe in the nurturing power of the family. We strengthen existing families and place unprotected children in safe, family-style homes. We prepare these children to one-day lead healthy families of their own.
