Written by Kat


Do you ever get sick of compaining about the most menial things when you have so much? Ever want to make a difference in the world? Believe it or not, you can and it's so easy. It's a Biblical principle that if you give you will recieve. In that case how can you lose?


Christian Blind Mission Internernational

Mission Statement:
To rescue and restore people trapped in poverty by disability. These are the most forgotten people in the world.
These are children who can’t access education programs because they can’t see, can’t walk or can’t hear. These are moms and dads who can’t even begin to apply for mainstream development programs, because disability without support and training makes them a “poor investment”. These are the poorest 1.2 billion people in the world. And we are helping them because God’s outrageous love calls us to help even the most forgotten and marginalized people in the world.
Our goal is to find, care for and work alongside these people, giving them hope and opportunity, taking whole families and communities out of grinding poverty and building a bridge between them and mainstream society

Kids with a Cause

About: Kids With A Cause, Inc. (founded in September 1999) was created to provide a helping hand to the children of the world who, through no fault of their own, suffer from poverty, hunger, sickness, lack of education, abandonment, neglect and/or abuse. The members behind Kids With A Cause are primarily celebrity youth and teens (from film, television & the recording industry), who recognize that they have been very fortunate and understand, even at a young age, that it is never too early or never too late to donate their time to help others and give back to the community and to the children of the world.
