This is how it all started:

In 1843 french Bishop Charles de Forbin Jansen called upon the children of France to help save the children of China. He asked them to become Missionary Children, helping to spread the Good News. He asked them to say a Hail Mary every day and give a small coin every month to help feed the Chinese children.

Their motto was “children helping children”. The French children took up this great work and from then on the work of missionary children has spread across the world, the Holy Childhood Association is present in 110 countries today. Monies raised through schools or children's catechism groups are directed towards self-help programs involving the building of schools and mother and child health centers, the provision of health, medicines and nutrition services, school fees and teaching and learning resources.

Children in communities, orphanages, homes for the disabled, refugees and those living on the streets are assisted by your generosity and that of children who wish to make the love of Jesus known everywhere.

Please join these generous children across the world to reach with practical and spiritual actions those in urgent need.
