Have you ever wanted to heal the children? You’ll find the perfect vehicle for your caring in Healing the Children, a nonprofit, volunteer organization dedicated to healing children around the world.

In many places in our world, children suffer and die or live disfigured lives because medical care that could help is unavailable to them. Changing this situation is the goal of Healing the Children. We envision a world where every child has access to medical care, and all our work is aimed at achieving our goal . . . one child at a time.

Our HTC chapters across the country bring children to cities in their area, find medical professionals who will donate their services, and assign each child to a volunteer host family who will provide room, board--and love--for the duration of the child’s stay in the United States.

Physicians from many surgical specialties, pediatricians, dentists, nurses, hospitals, laboratories, airline personnel, teachers, translators, social workers, and many other professionals generously give their time and expertise to Healing the Children. Our generous donors help us meet substantial travel and communication expenses. And loving host families open their hearts and homes to offer HTC children those powerful, healing gifts, security and love. Without these wonderful people, HTC could not function--and every single one of them is a volunteer.

Since 1979, such Healing the Children volunteers have changed the lives of more than 146,000 children.
