Who
We Work With
Kits
for Kidz™ is proud to count hundreds of different
non-profit groups among our customer base including relief
organizations, philanthropic groups, churches and school
districts. All of these groups share a common objective
– working to serve the most deprived and deserving
children both domestically and internationally. Our objective
is to assist these groups with their initiatives by giving
them a convenient and affordable source to purchase essential
products for children.
In
particular, Kits for Kidz™ would like to highlight
the following partners and the caring work they do:
World Vision SchoolTools
Program
Millions of children living in poverty miss out on the chance
for an education simply because they can't pay for essential
supplies that go hand-in-hand with learning. That's why
World Vision created SchoolTools — a program that
inspires hope in children by providing them with the valuable
school materials they so desperately need. SchoolTools collects
kits of specific school supplies made by individuals, groups
and organizations and delivers them to needy children who
wouldn't be able to attend class without them. You can make
a difference!

Children of The Americas
Their main mission is to keep underserved children
in Mexico and the United States fed and in school so that
by the time they have reached young adulthood, they are
healthy and well developed with skills that will allow
them to take their place in life and pass that opportunity
on to their children--breaking the cycle of poverty
in one generation. Children of the Americas believes health
and education are the two most important gifts we can give
any child. Services they provide include before-class nutrition
programs, badly needed school supplies, scholarships and
necessary education equipment. Additionally, they build
dining rooms, computer labs, repair school classrooms and
even individual homes when needed.

Operation Kid Equip
To break the cycle of poverty and hopelessness, we first have to meet some very basic needs.
Operation: Kid Equip acts as a conduit for collecting and distributing tangible goods and supplies to school-aged children.
Operation: Kid Equip effects long term improvement in the community by providing kids with the core necessities they need to prosper in school and in life.
