Christian Children's Fund

The Christian Children’s Fund is another one of Ann Curry’s suggested links. I found this site to be the least involved with Darfur. Infact, they do not specifically work in the Darfur region. But they do wok in Chad, the neighboring country that I have discussed.



The following is a description of what is CCF is doing in Chad:
“A CCF emergency response team, consisting of specialists in emergency response and child protection, traveled to Chad on August 1, 2004, to assess refugee needs in regards to quality of basic services, psychological well-being, protection concerns and desired support. The team addressed education, shelter and psychosocial issues in the four Chadian refugee camps (Iridimi, Toullum, Mille and Kounoungo) located along the Chad-Sudan border.
In response, 16 out of a total of 30 planned Child Centered Spaces have already been opened. These spaces provide a safe and stimulating environment with structured recreational and learning activities to approximately 1,600 children each day. CCF staff members have also mobilized 40 youth clubs for boys and girls in the four camps. Each club has up to 60 youth members who are encouraged to hold sports and cultural activities.”


There is also a brief history of what’s going on Chad. This information page also discusses that they are involved with UNICEF.



They are a fund that works with the children by stopping the poverty and the harsh conditions the face. The biggest opportunity to help in alignment with the CCF is the ability to sponsor a child from one of the regions they work in. Pictured below is the first step in the three-step process. You are also able to make general donations to the fund.

I also found an interesting link within the page for journalists. This sections, as stated, does the following:

“The team offers assistance to journalists researching current story ideas or breaking news affecting developing countries worldwide. We provide background information, photos and set up interviews with experts and specialists from the U.S. and developing countries. The team also provides resources needed for inquiries related to ongoing emergencies, natural disasters or current CCF national and international program development issues.”
