CCI exists to serve orphans in third world countries living in destitute poverty. Our vision is to break the cycle of poverty through education, micro-enterprises,counseling, and holistic children's villages.

Description:
We are a christian organization. We take the Biblical mandate to serve orphans and widows seriously. We are currently focused on the Children of Kenya in East Africa. We do home based care for orphans living with their guardians. We are in the process of building a children's village. Each children's village shall consist of an elementary school, a high school, a technical school, a chapel,a health clinic, and 12 family style homes housing 12 orphans each. We want each child to grow physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Our micro-credit program gives guardians of orphans a chance to break out of poverty and become self sufficient. We depend on volunteers to help our operations here in the U.S.A.

History:
We are now in our 8th year of operation. We are an NGO in Kenya as well as a 501c3 here in America.
