Kids Are Heroes
Kids Are Heroes is an organization that was started by then 9-year-old MaryMargaret who in March of 2008 asked her dad to build her a web site because she wanted to help animals. "Maybe we can help people too" her dad and cofounder added and KidsAreHeroes.com was born. The web site empowers children to become involved in the act of giving by showcasing kids under the age of 18 who perform amazing acts of kindness for others with no consideration of their own benefit. As a matter of fact, the kids are not seeking recognition for themselves. It's all about raising awareness for their causes and inspiring other kids to join in. So stop by and read the wonderful stories of children digging wells in other countries, helping their local Special Olympics and finding diabetic service dogs for families across the US. These are just a few of the dozens of varied examples of how kids are indeed changing the world.
Operation: Kid Equip
Operation: Kid Equip’s long term vision is a community where every child’s basic needs are met. To accomplish this in the short term we provide school supplies, books and dictionaries to children who are at-risk. To effect long term community improvement, we work to increase awareness of the issues facing school-aged children to help them succeed in school and in life.
