Kids helping kids

Fondation Kids with a Cause Europe (KWACE) aims to motivate children and young people to make the world a better place, by participating in our projects and having a positive impact on the future of disadvantaged children.

We look for schools and other organizations to take on a fundraising project for the education and healthcare of children and adolescents we support through our nominated charities.

Our projects include Read for a cause and Future presidents calendar.

The children read as many books as they can, during a specified period, and are sponsored an amount per book. While improving their reading skills they raise money which provides the schools we support with books and other educational materials.

The Future President’s calendar allows children to choose a theme of what they would change if they were president. Then they design each month of the calendar. They also decide how and where to sell the calendars, and the money raised goes to one of the charities we support.

We make it a rule that these charities provide regular feedback regarding the use of the funds they receive from us.
