OUR MISSION
A Child’s Promise International (CPI) is a 50l (c) 3 IRS Tax Exempt Nonprofit AVO (All-Volunteer Organization). Our mission supports vulnerable and destitute youth in marginal living conditions and challenging environments, primarily in undeveloped countries, helping youth embrace their futures with greater achievement for personal and financial success. Our vision is to see each youth educated and supported become healthy, self-reliant adults who are productive citizens in a global society.
WHY WE ARE UNIQUE
CPI’s strength and dedication are exemplified in its management team of committed volunteers who freely donate their time, talents, skills and personal finances. Ninety-eight percent (98%) of donations is contributed to programs and services, with only two-percent (2%) to management and fundraising.
CPI has earned a gold seal of transparency status with GuideStar Nonprofit Ratings.
WHO WE SUPPORT
CPI supports youth education and career development in Zambia and Ghana.
The ObstaComer Scholarship Program for Zambian Orphans
Our ObstaComer Scholarship and Mentorship Programs commemorate the late parents (Mathew & Jean Mulenga) of our Chief Operating Officer, Elizabeth Mulenga, who is a native of Zambia. The scholarship program supports orphans, and other Zambian youth living in marginalized and challenging environments. The Program also incorporates mentorship which is a series of mentoring videos providing youth guidance for developing sustainable life skills and knowledge.
The Charity Amoa Memorial School in Takoradi, Ghana
CPI works with the Charity Amoa Memorial School (CAMS) in Ghana to educate community youth. The school is named for the late Charity Amoa who worked tirelesly to support the education and caring of community youth by opening her home as a daycare and certified school. The current construction of a school building is truly a Godsend for the vulnerable youth of Ghana. Together we provide daycare, kindergarten, and classrooms for grades 1 thru 9, as well as a library and employment training center. The Ghanian Government provides grades 10 thru 12. Students must take and pass examinations for placement according to test scores. All of our students do extremely well, passing all exams with high test scores for placement in classes ranked by their scores.
You have options for donating a single or monthly contribution via PayPal, credit cards, or mail-in check. Alternatively, you can bequest a planned charitable gift which is above all a gesture that comes from the heart. There are various types of planned giving and it is important to be informed about tax regulations that may apply. Our legal/financial advisor can provide information and help with planned gifts. Each donation supports the education of our students and helps ensure their continued education.
A SOLID EDUCATION IS THE FOUNDATION EVERY CHILD DESERVES
