Chances for Children International (CCI) is registered as a 501(c)3 (non-profit) organization in the State of New Hampshire. We are supported solely by contributions from individuals. CCI works to give individual children in developing countries the chance to escape poverty by getting an education to grow their minds and widen their horizons. We partner with small grassroots organizations in Asia, Africa and Central America, helping them build capacity to strengthen and expand effective programs. Working within the framework of grassroots organizations has several advantages: it empowers local people who best understand the needs of their communities; it gives them greater means to improve the life chances of local children; and it utilizes knowledge of local institutions to give children better learning opportunities. Our major goal is to increase the access of poor children, particularly girls, to education (primary, secondary and university levels). CCI's partners are:
•Amigos de Santa Cruz (Guatemala)
•Children's Education Foundation (Vietnam)
•Hearing & Beyond (Vietnam)
•PROGRESA (Guatemala)
•The Girls Foundation of Tanzania
