ChildReach International

ChildReach International USA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that works to build sustainable development in developing communities around the world! FutureBuilding Projects are an award-winning ChildReach International USA program that give volunteers the unique opportunity to play an active, hands-on role in valuable community-based projects in the developing world. Simultaneously, volunteers will participate in a unique cultural exchange and interact with members of the community that they have fundraised to support. In addition to international travel, volunteers will spend six to nine months prior to departure both fundraising and raising awareness within their own communities to support valuable and sustainable community development projects abroad, helping children to reach their full potential! In the past, these projects have included classroom renovations, construction of kitchens, toilets, and teachers’ housing, improving access to clean drinking water, and installing machines to help each community to become self-sustaining.  All of our project work is chosen by collaborating with local villages and leaders to address the specific needs of each particular community, enabling lasting and sustainable community-based change for children and their families.
