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.

The ObstaComer Scholarship Program for Zambian Orphans

The scholarship program supports orphans, and other Zambian youth living in marginalized and challenging environments.
Mentorship Programs for Zambian Orphans
The ObstaComer Mentorship Program is a series of 30-minute-long mentoring videos to provide orphans and other vulnerable Zambian youth guidance for developing sustainable life skills and behaviors. "An “obstacomer” is a person who has overcome many obstacles in life to reach desired goals. The term "obstacomer was created by Elizabeth Mulenga in 2016 by combining the words obstacle and overcomer.
The Charity Amoa Memorial School in Takoradi, Ghana
CPI works with the Charity Amoa Memorial School (CAMS) in Ghana to educate community youth. Together we build community school complexes, provide daycare, kindergarten, compulsory grades 1 thru 9, as well as a library and employment training center.
You have options for donating a single or monthly contribution via PayPal, credit card payment, or mail-in check; or 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.
