Our Mission

Why Children?

Because every child matters to God. And therefore, every child matters to us.

CRY is a God-driven response to the injustice that so many children face daily. Here's why our work is crucial more than ever:

  1. 400 MILLION children live in poverty.
  2. 119 million girls don't have access to education.
  3. 50 Million children are displaced.
  4. 1 in 6 child live in a conflict zone.
  5. 272 MILLION children are out of school.
  6. 1 in 7 young people experience a mental health condition.
