Empowering Changemakers. Transforming One Life at a Time.
Change often starts with one person—a teacher, a neighbor, a community leader—who sees a child in need and takes action. At Children's International Changemakers (CIC), we connect and empower local heroes who are working on the front lines to support street-connected and vulnerable children across the globe.
Whether you're a grassroots organization supporting ten children or an individual advocating for just one, your work matters—and we’re here to amplify it. CIC offers free training, resources, and international visibility to help small NGOs and community leaders grow their impact and connect with global supporters.
Together, we're creating a network of passionate changemakers committed to transforming lives, one child at a time.

Who We Are: A Movement of Local Heroes
Children’s International Changemakers (CIC) is a global support hub for small NGOs and grassroots individuals working to uplift street-connected and vulnerable children.
Our mission is simple: to amplify the impact of local changemakers by connecting them with free resources, training, and international donors who care.
We know that powerful change often comes from the smallest initiatives—someone who sees a need in their village, town, or city and steps up. These unsung heroes often lack the funding, visibility, and support needed to grow their mission. That’s where CIC comes in.
We exist to:
Support local leaders with free training and tools
Increase visibility so small NGOs can access global giving
Facilitate connections between changemakers and international funders
Champion education and access to basic rights for every child
By building bridges between local efforts and global resources, we’re helping create a world where every child has the chance to thrive, no matter where they were born.
✨ Together, we’re transforming one life at a time.
Free Tools to Grow Your Impact
At CIC, we believe knowledge should never be a barrier to change. That’s why we offer free, practical resources tailored to the needs of small NGOs and grassroots leaders supporting vulnerable children.
From fundraising strategies and donor engagement to sustainable project design and child protection practices, our resources are designed to help you scale your mission ethically, effectively, and sustainably.
What you’ll find:
Step-by-step fundraising guides
Templates for proposals, reports & donor communication
Training modules for NGO capacity building

Whether you’re just starting out or growing your community project, we’re here to help you succeed—transforming one life at a time through shared knowledge and global solidarity.
