About Us - Mission Statement:

Kids 4 Kids, Inc. , is a non-profit charitable organisation established in 1994 to provide assistance to disadvantaged children, particularly those in life-threatening circumstances. The prime method of achieving this assistance is through fund-raising projects in which all children, including those who need help and those who wish to help, participate. They do so with the help of young adults and adults. Funds are distributed to agencies and foundations which have been established to directly assist disadvantaged children.

There are many places in the world where children are in a life-or-death struggle. Children are singing in Kids 4 Kids to help save lives of other children . They're being assisted by lots of other people in Australia, America, Asia and Europe but at present children are still dying at the rate of one every three seconds..........one child every three seconds........dead.

The structure of this project is very simple: the children are singing a series of S.O.S. songs to some of the most influential people in the world. All of these people have already demonstrated their commitment to helping children in distress. Each person is asked to assist the children with a special song or message. Each song has been specially created with tenderness, care and dedication. The songs are to be recorded and the sale of them shall generate the funds needed to help the children, God willing.

The objective is to have a worldwide linkup of children of many countries singing in support of their disadvantaged brothers and sisters, with support from the various people to whom the SOS songs are directed.
