About Children's Humanitarian International (CHI)
Children’s Humanitarian International (CHI) is a global organization dedicated to empowering, educating, and providing for children. CHI's first international project got underway in January 2011 when we began raising funds to help Kenyan children in need attend schools that we partnered with. As our international program gained attention and our support base grew, in January 2016 we were able to expand our program by launching our own school, CHI Academy. Located a short distance from Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, it serves nearly 300 students.
Simultaneously, CHI launched its first binational project, CHI Summer Abroad, designed primarily to benefit high school students from Sonoma County, California, but also CHI Academy students in Kenya. The program centers on a five-week study-abroad trip to CHI Academy for Sonoma County students – half of whom come from socio-economically disadvantaged families and are awarded all-expenses-paid internships to allow their participation.
Both CHI Academy and the CHI Summer Abroad program aim to strengthen children’s education, equip them with leadership skills, motivate them to get involved in their communities, and create long-lasting success, not "Band-Aid solutions."
