Helping Kids Thrive

Before children can truly thrive, first they need the basic necessities of life like nutritious food, clean water, medical care, and shelter. Once these needs are met, they can move from surviving to thriving through education, counseling, and a supportive social environment. Cross International’s Thriving Kids initiative supports ministries that provide children with the essentials they need to live and the support they need to thrive!
