Welcome to our special Kids Discovery Zone. It's a place featuring kids who are making a difference in the lives of children in poverty around the world. Come discover some amazing kids helping other kids, in action. Come discover some of the amazing kids being helped.
We're always excited to feature appropriate stories about individual children and groups who want to help. You might like to organize a fundraiser yourself, like Julia and Madison did. Of course, school fundraisers would be a great fit in fulfilling our vision to see kids helping kids. Teachers,
contact us,
and let us know about your fundraiser ideas and projects, and you might just see yourself in our Kids Discovery Zone too.
Meet Some Amazing KidsWe believe that kids really can make a difference. It's always refreshing to catch the natural zeal of children wanting to help. Unlike some of us adults, children often don't have inhibitions and logical reasoning getting in the way of achieving their goals. A little imagination and creativity can unleash some pretty positive results as they set out and "just do it".
Little Julia, at only five years of age, impacted a school in Garissa, Kenya, with the 1,700 pennies she saved and donated to those less fortunate than herself. Her compassion inspired the name for The Julia Project Foundation itself.

Madison wanted to help too. Following Julia's lead, Madison also collected money, this time going door to door in her neighborhood. Madison and her family also donated small toys, games, books and goodies for our African school children.

Discover Some Amazing CountriesWe realize that not everyone can go to other nations themselves, especially not children. Our special kids zone is also a place to explore other cultures. Children can explore our country profile pages to learn about specific countries and communities that we are working in. Learn some history, geography, and catch a bit of adventure. It's a great way to experience other cultures and to learn about the daily issues facing children like themselves.
