The following are guidelines that focus our work at Here For Kids International. While we don’t require our participants to identify with the following, we ask that anyone serving with us reviews and respects these guidelines.
VISION
We envision a world of hope, health and happiness, wherein all children are fed, clothed and lead lives of dignity and high moral character. Moreover, we aspire to a world populated by both children and adults committed to a spiritually-centered Christian foundation who recognize the joy of service, and are dedicated to maintaining a world where there is no disadvantaged child, no child in need, and no child living without hope.
MISSION
To provide participants the opportunity to discover the eternal joy of service by collaborating with partner organizations to meet the physical and spiritual needs of underserved children and communities around the world.
