Letter from our Chairman
| Welcome to the home page of Child Initiative International, (CII) an organization founded to make a positive impact in the lives of children in the United States and abroad. We believe that children are one of our most precious gifts. Around the world children are subjected to intolerable conditions such as disease, abuse, rape, slavery, starvation, sexual abuse, a lack of self worth and the feeling of being forgotten and unloved. Adults make the choices that affect their lives and children are left to deal with what the world has handed to them before they are even given a fair chance at life. These children seem to have become a disposable commodity; thrown away, much like an empty bottle or can. CII hopes to help change that. Our efforts in Uganda Africa began in March 2006. Ray and I were in Uganda as missionaries and had the chance to see exactly how beautiful Africa is. Unfortunately, we were also able to see the conditions of nearly one million orphans, many of whom are HIV positive. There is little hope for them if we sit by and do nothing. We began support of one orphanage and opened another and now have hundreds of children to whom we seek to supply food, educational materials, clothing and shelter. They just need a fighting chance. That is why we are here. We began Child Initiative International with a small group of believers who walk in agreement that these children must not perish because of the history of man’s inability to appropriately care for the gifts we have been given. These children did not ask for their poor situation. The world handed it to them and said, “Live with it.” I hope you will look around our web page and like what you see. We would love to have your support to achieve our goal of caring for 10,000 or more children. While we are a faith-based organization, we will not withhold care from a child regardless of the background that child may have been born into. We will care for as many children as funding by donation permits without any prejudice. We do not seek to replace, reproduce or compete with any other charities and organizations. We seek to fill a void. We are a 501c3 charity, making your gift tax deductible. I hope you will join with us to make a positive impact in the lives of children all over the world. Thank you and God Bless, Phillip Klikas Jr. Ph.D Chairman of the Board Child Initiative International |

In this picture you see
two of three children we
lost to disease in March
2007.
As you can see Gilbert
and Teopista were
beautiful and seemingly
had a bright future until
they contracted
MEASLES. We don't have
a picture of the third
child, "Sammy." But I
promise these three will
never be forgotten and
we are working to insure
we don't loose anymore
of these treasures.
