DCI is a non-profit organization working to protect child rights and help families out of the poverty cycle through education, healthcare, and income generating opportunities. DCI also connects American youth to less fortunate children in other countries, educating them about the challenges facing children worldwide and inspiring them to take leadership in humanitarian causes. Distressed Children & Infant International (DCI) is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization registered in the United States and operating around the world.
I’m happy there are great NGOs like DCI who are doing the work to challenge us to be better. I am really glad that you are convening this group today. As a member of both the foreign relations committee and the appropriation subcommittee that oversees funding for international aid I look forward to working with you to hearing about the obstacles that you face but also the success that you find to try to make the case for the U.S government to be a bigger partner in combating childhood poverty and visual impairment across the globe.
