-“I want to help homeless children around the world because I love my home. When I travel I get homesick very easily. I cant possibly BEGIN to imagine what these kids go through. No nine year old boy or girl should have to find food and look after themselves and possibly their siblings. "Watch this video and focus on the pictures, and you will understand the inspiration for this project". (Troye) |

Kids Helping Kids
----Kids Helping Kids Leadership Academy, Inc. is a unique organization that evolved from a 10 year-old's simple idea and big heart to raise $240 in order to keep one Ghanaian child out of trafficking into a fundraising and leadership movement for global transformation.
----In February of 2007 ten year-old Tyler Page got inspired while watching an episode of Oprah where he learned that children, just like himself, were being sold by their own parents into labor. Picturing himself in their shoes is all it took for him to leap into action. He wanted to raise just $240 which he learned would keep one child out of trafficking for an entire year. Little did he know that his intent to raise $240, would begin a legacy of hope and inspiration.
----Within the first 17 months, his $240 quickly turned into $50,000. His desire to help children he has never met on the other side of the globe is what inspired his family & friends to start Kids Helping Kids Leadership Academy, Inc. His innocent but powerful desire to help others has become contagious with whom all he shares the story with. With each fundraiser you can feel an excitement and joy that permeates the air as self esteem rises inside all the children and adults who volunteer. The success of Kids Helping Kids Leadership Academy, Inc. is only possible by the many volunteers, supporters, donations & sponsors that have, and continue to contribute to this global movement.
----"Let’s team up and show others how Positive Action in your community can change lives. Wouldn’t you like to BE the difference and be a hero? Together as a team we can do it" (Tyler Page).
