Childhelp Snapshot
Childhelp exists to meet the physical, emotional, educational and spiritual needs of abused, neglected and at-risk children. We focus our efforts on advocacy, intervention, treatment, prevention, family resilience and community outreach.
The founders of Childhelp, Sara O’Meara and Yvonne Fedderson, have guided the organization to help the lives of millions of children across the world since 1959. Childhelp believes that every child has a unique contribution to make to the world. We do everything within our power to help children heal and develop self-esteem to reach their God-given potential. We believe unconditional love is the foundation on which all healing begins.
