Welcome to Healing the Children

There is nothing more haunting than images of suffering children. For Healing the Children they are a call to action. HTC is a nonprofit, volunteer organization dedicated to healing children around the world. We envision a world where every child has access to medical care, and all our work is aimed at achieving our goal. Since 1979, Healing the Children volunteers have changed the lives of more than 174,000 children.

Physicians, dentists, nurses, hospitals, laboratories, airline personnel, teachers, translators, social workers, and many other professionals generously give their time and expertise to Healing the Children. Host families open their hearts and homes to offer HTC children daily care, security, and love. Each dollar received is multiplied many times over and reaps a great return in healthy children and improved medical facilities.

Take a moment to explore our web pages. Visit the sites of our chapters. See what life-changing things can happen when people really do care. And imagine yourself playing an active role in healing an individual child, supporting a traveling medical team, providing technical education, or creating a medical facility where none has existed.

You are invited to make a difference in the lives of medically needy children here and around the world.
