About Us
““Children do not need us to feel sorry for them. Rather, they need people who believe in them, help them get into school, stay in school, and allow the world to benefit from their uniqueness.””
Like many of the children in Kidspire programs today, I, too, began life as an orphan. I know I would not have started Kidspire had I not been the recipient of those who helped me believe that I was infinitely valuable and had something to contribute to the world that no one else could. Today I am in awe of Kidspire’s work that has grown to help thousands of children realize their own unique worth.
