The Story Behind Child United
It was a trip that changed her life forever...
It's rare to find those instances in life when something shakes you to the core. Everything that
once mattered, doesn't seem as important as it was before. It happened to our founder,
Christine Umayam, as she traveled on a family vacation to the Philippines in January 2006.
It was supposed to be just that... a vacation but it turned into something more. You see,
Christine couldn't go back to her normal life in America. She couldn't forget those images of
children she saw on the streets. Christine continued to ask herself why extreme poverty existed
in the world, why we allow it. So a year later, she went back to the Philippines to figure out why
she couldn't get those images of children out of her mind.
It was a nagging feeling inside of her that told her she needed to do something more. Within
two months of coming back from her trip, she quit her lucrative job in the corporate world and
the next day started Child United.
Christine's mission now is to help children in third world countries receive an education with the
belief that it can lead a family, a community... out of poverty.
Child United was started in May 2007. In the years that followed, the organization has grown
into a dedicated team of directors whose goal is to provide educational opportunities for all
children in poverty.
In October 2009, Child United expanded its goals to include helping families affected by natural
disasters. The organization has since provided for flood victims in the Philippines and is helping
with the recent tragedy in Haiti.
You can help change the course of a child's life forever. Help Christine and Child United give
HOPE to children and families living in extreme poverty and devastation.
