• To date, over one thousand schools across the United States, from New York to Hawaii, have participated in Kids to Kids International. Many of these schools continue to support our program each year.

• Kids to Kids International Friendship Boxes, containing original student-created picture books, writing/drawing supplies and disposable cameras, have been sent to children in need in over fifty nations around the world. Click on the red and orange push pins on the map above, or browse the country list below, to see photos from each country our program has touched!

• In politically sensitive countries, where printed material from the United States – even children’s educational material – is strictly censored, Kids to Kids International has successfully opened a path for communication through books created by and for children. Kids to Kids International has successfully delivered its friendship boxes to children in Mainland China, war-torn Bosnia, Kosovo, military camps in Russia, and other closed societies. Our goal with this project is to create pathways of understanding in the Middle East.

• In 1995, collaboration was established between Kids to Kids International and the National Arts Club, which operates an education program for New York City public school children. Each year, schools create picture books that are displayed at an annual exhibit at the National Arts Club headquarters before being sent abroad.
