Christian Children's Fund of Canada
Children Believe, formerly Christian Children's Fund of Canada, renamed in October 2019,[1] and is a Canadian charity that works globally to empower children to dream fearlessly, stand up for what they believe in —and be heard. For 60 years, we’ve brought together brave young dreamers, caring supporters and partners, and unabashed idealists. Together, we’re driven by a common belief: creating access to education —inside and outside of classrooms—is the most powerful tool children can use to change their world.. Children Believe is a member of ChildFund Alliance, a global family of 12 child-centered development organizations.[2][3]
