Childreach International began its life in 2004 as a voluntary organisation run by individuals passionate about international development who worked hard to provide communities with the resources they needed solve development issues.

In August 2007 we changed our name from GDL (Global Development Links) to Childreach International to reflect the fact that our work was benefiting children and youths in developing communities. In the last 12 months our organisation has grown rapidly as the demand for our work spreads through word of mouth from community to community.

We now have international offices in Tanzania, India, Nepal. Our local offices each have a board of trustees made up of local people, providing our programmes with expertise tailored to solving development problems at the grass roots level. Office staff have valuable experience working with the local community to ensure that Childreach International meets their most vital needs. The growth of our Childreach International family has increased the effectiveness of our work, helping us reach out to more children in the developing world.
