About Us

At Kids First International our single-minded focus and unyielding dedication to our mission to assist, empower and humanise children is our greatest strength. We leverage this devotion by making sure they have the ability to attend school without an empty belly calling them back into the streets, providing books and educational material which many of their schools lack and giving them assurance that they are NOT alone. We focus on providing assistance to youngsters in living conditions where the primary caretaker is unable to fully assist the child with the essentials for a healthy, secure and productive upbringing. We guarantee a safe, nurturing environment, quality education and meaningful after-school programs is what we strive for.
