Our story
While volunteering at a non-profit dedicated to disadvantaged children, Diane Christian was struck by the notion that so many kids in our society are in need. She realized that their needs are not always obvious and, as a consequence, often go unnoticed or are discounted.
In a time with so many challenging, global issues that demand our attention, it is easy to ignore the sometimes indiscernible needs of children. Although most of us feel sympathetic to kids in need, we often view them as someone else’s child. Diane felt that while they are someone else’s child, they are not someone else’s problem. We all have an obligation to provide for our community’s children. Because of that responsibility and this acute societal need, she established Someone Else’s Child Foundation in 1997.
Someone Else’s Child is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation that supports children’s causes throughout the U.S. and in Africa.
Areas of focus include education, nutrition and health, mentoring, economic disparity, homelessness, and collaborative efforts with other child-focused non-profits. A primary objective of SEC is to inspire and encourage children to become involved in their community and to actively participate in helping other children.
