Who We Are

Hi were Adrianne and Rick, Co founders of Kids International Development Society (KIDS). In March 2000 our only child and dearest daughter Danielle was killed by a drunk driver, she was 21. Our search to find healing and meaning in our lives led us to the formation of KIDS and today we are a registered Canadian Charity. Each year we volunteer for three to four months mostly in S.E. Asia and primarily Cambodia. Our focus is on education, clean drinking water and health care. We work with local people and organizations and oversee the projects ourselves making sure that the funds donated are wisely spent and directly assist children, families and communities in need. Over the past thirteen years we have successfully funded and supported: schools, clinics, solar water systems for schools, classrooms, children’s hospitals, a girl’s home, women’s weaving cooperative and other family and educational supplies.

Our Campaign

Education is a priority for KIDS and we see first hand how developing minds changes lives. We are presently working with a rural school where 1500 children attend and heard of their desire to learn computer skills. Computer skills can assist young people to attend University as well as give them an opportunity to find employment and help support their families.  They have the classroom, the teacher, electricity and hundreds of kids have the passion all they need is Your Support to buy the computers and create a computer lab for these dedicated young people.

What We Need

We are hoping to raise $7,000.00 The funds will renovate a classroom and purchase 25 computers where classes will run regularly for high schools students.

The Costs

·  25 computers @ 183.00 each  $4575.00

·  Renovations (tile, ceiling, paint, wiring)  $1700.00

·  Printers, electrical work, computer maintenance    $725.00

Total  $7000.00

The Impact

We have witnessed first hand how education has changed children and youth’s lives. We have known young people, who thanks to educational support, have finished University and now have good paying jobs and can help support their families. We have seen children learn and grow and be able to escape the difficult life of working in a brick factory as a child labourer.  We work with many Cambodian people who have faced unthinkable tragedy and now dedicate their lives to helping their own people. These changes are made possible through education and hard work. Who knows where one computer will lead!
