Kids Around the World, Inc.(KIDS) is a faith-based 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to helping children and families who have been affected by war, poverty, illness, and natural disasters. Our home office is in Rockford, Illinois and our goal is to reach children around the world with the message of God’s love for them. We do this by:
• Building playgrounds where children can enjoy being a kid. Research has also shown that playground activities are essential for children’s proper physical, emotional, spiritual, and cognitive development.
• Teaching Christian education workers how to develop better bible lessons. We use storyboards we have created as a visual aid in the lesson development and instruct the teachers on ways to involve the children in the lesson activities.
• Provide nutritious meals for children. We package meals which are a combination of rice and soy fortified with 21 vitamins and minerals, chicken flavoring, and vegetables which can be easily prepared in any country. The ingredients are recognized and accepted world wide and preparation only involves cooking with boiling water.
