About Us
Driven by Mission, Empowering Through Action
KCA’s driving principle is simple in words, but complex in action:
Changing the world, one child at a time.
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
KCA is a global movement born out of a commitment to support children facing the most challenging circumstances.
KCA has been a beacon of hope for over two decades, providing vital assistance and hope to children and families in need.
We want every child to have the opportunity to be all they can, no matter where they start in life. We stand with them, as they overcome and thrive.
KCA exists for all children, wherever they are in the world.
