Founded in 2008 by Mr. Francisco J. Farias, Children Fund International was established with a singular mission: to transform the lives of children living in poverty across the globe. We are committed to addressing the urgent needs of vulnerable children, providing them with the resources, care, and opportunities they need to break free from the cycle of poverty and build a brighter future.

With the invaluable support of Nekton Capital Group, Inc., we have extended a helping hand to children in El Salvador, Mexico, and Venezuela, and continue to provide essential support to programs that prioritize the health, safety, well-being, and education of foster children in the United States, United Kingdom, and Ukraine.

Our foundation is led by a team of dedicated professionals and supported by corporate funding, ensuring that our efforts are both sustainable and impactful. We recognize the profound challenges faced by children in poverty and work tirelessly to meet their needs, from immediate relief to long-term empowerment. Every child deserves a chance to thrive, and through our comprehensive programs, we strive to make that a reality.

Our Mission

Our mission is to uplift and improve the lives of children living in poverty by addressing their immediate needs and providing them with the tools and resources necessary for long-term growth and success. We aim to create lasting, positive change in their lives and communities through health, education, safety, and well-being initiatives.

Our Vision

We envision a world where no child suffers due to poverty, and where every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential, regardless of their circumstances. We aspire to create a future where children are empowered to break free from the limitations of poverty and become the architects of their own destinies.
