Childreach International works at a grassroots level, providing access to education and healthcare to children by empowering local communities.

Although the number of communities and countries with projects have varied over the year the following countries are those with active long-term projects.[3]

Childreach International focuses on access to healthcare, education and child rights and protection. Their mission is to make sure that nothing stands in the way of a child fulfilling their potential.

Nepal Earthquake Response 2015

When the first earthquake hit Nepal on 25th April 2015, Childreach International facilitated a 'Reach Out For Nepal' campaign to encourage emergency fundraising in the UK, USA and Australia. Their two-month report[4] after the earthquake demonstrated that no staff salaries were deducted from these raised funds, and that overheads were extremely low. Childreach International used this report to encourage transparency amongst other local and international NGOs working in the relief effort.
