The World of Children Awards program was created to recognize and elevate those
selfless individuals who make a difference in the lives of children across the
globe, regardless of political, religious or geographical boundaries. These
courageous leaders recognize that our children are the world's most important
asset, so they have established programs that profoundly support children in
need.
The World of Children honors these leaders, and grants them funds to support
the proven, high-impact programs they have created. These awards assure that
more children's lives will be touched, and changed...forever.
