Flying Kites : Orphaned Children, Remarkable Care, Tremendous Outcomes

Flying Kites seeks to raise the standards of care available to the world's poorest children. We are a non-profit organization that strives to give these children the tools they will need - education, imagination and resolution - to succeed in and contribute to a complex and changing world.

We will prepare them to affect their societies through our emphasis on compassion, advocacy, and leadership. Our model is:

~ to provide orphaned children with a home and an exceptional education.

~ to work in partnership with our local neighbors to strengthen the community.

~ to foster collaboration and cooperation between non-profit organizations, governmental agencies and businesses.

~ to raise awareness about the crises facing orphaned children and to facilitate thoughtful action.
