About Us

Driven by Mission, Empowering Through Action

KCA’s driving principle is simple in words, but complex in action:

To build capacity for change and transform lives at scale.

Our team is driven by this mission—it’s what motivates us to work on the frontlines with brave activists to support children around the world.

The KCA Mission

Our mission is to improve the health and well-being of vulnerable children and families
around the world. We stand in solidarity with these communities and work with them to
create lasting change and build confidence.

Our History

KCA and its partners have spent the last two decades serving communities around the globe and not just
