We Help Kids Discover How Far They Can Go

Our goal is to create a future where opportunity flows freely across borders, ensuring that every child has the foundation, support, and resources needed to thrive.

The Problem

Children in underserved communities often lack consistent access to healthcare, nutritious meals, safe housing, and quality education resources, and this absence of coordinated support makes upward mobility significantly harder.

The Solution

Kids Without Borders commits ongoing sponsorship support for individual children that covers medical care, education expenses, and daily meal access in collaboration with trusted nonprofit partners.

Our Story

Kids Without Borders is a nonprofit organization committed to expanding opportunity for children regardless of where they are born.

In 2023, backed by the Kathryn Davis Foundation, we partnered with Pora Health, a Zimbabwean nonprofit tackling health inequality and poverty in disadvantaged communities, to launch Project JEKA, to equip young people with computer programming and entrepreneurship skills in response to youth unemployment and limited job readiness pathways that were increasing youth vulnerability to drug abuse particularly in high density urban communities in Zimbabwe

The results were astoundingly positive: participants went on to obtain paid full-time and freelance work, and began selling products and services online and within their communities within six months of completing the program.

That success led to a defining question: If opportunity makes this much difference at eighteen, what could it do at eight? And Kids Without Borders was born.

How We Support Children Year After Year

Sponsorship ensures children have paid school fees, required learning materials, access to primary healthcare, regular health screenings, and consistent meal support.

We work with vetted partners to conduct regular child welfare visits, monitor academic attendance and performance, and engage caregivers through structured community meetings to ensure children remain enrolled, healthy, and protected year after year.
