Our Story

Overview

Past life as: Infante Sano, a hospital-based nonprofit backing healthy mothers and children in the Dominican Republic, the organization merged with Kids to Kids, an international nonprofit launched by middle schoolers and dealing with the needs of kids and young people. We quickly saw that our new partners got it: local solutions to local problems – not answers imposed from outside the country and the culture.
Whether in Peru or Paducah, no one understands kids better than their own peers. Kids to Kids, sometimes called Kids Connect, mobilizes kids and teens in the US to choose among, fund raise for and cheer on projects that promise to make a difference in the lives of the kids who have the same dreams and hopes for their own lives. The bonus? Kids to Kids has been proven to tap the energy, curiosity and generosity of kids in the US, and has persuaded more and more of them to get involved, to do more, to learn more, to give more. The success of their projects speaks for itself.

Look at us Now: An epiphany and a turning point: soon, we changed our name, our thinking, our way of doing business. We listened, we adapted, we became World Connect. Just Imagine.
