Child Aid, 917 SW Oak Street, Suite 320, Portland, Oregon 97205, 503.223.3008
Child Aid helps poor children by establishing partnerships with grassroots community organizations in Latin America working to remove barriers to their children's health and education. These community organizations have identified crucial needs and developed strategies for positive change. They lack the financial and technical resources and experience in organization building that Child Aid provides. After helping a local group to develop the skills to sustain itself and grow, Child Aid moves on to assist somewhere else.
