50 Years of Change
May 8, 2026
To everyone who has been part of our journey, past and present, Thank You! As we look ahead to celebrating our 50th Anniversary milestone this September, we invite our community to reflect with us, share memories, and help shape what comes next.
1976-2026 | 50 Years of Impact
Since 1976, our ever-growing community of partners, educators, volunteers, advocates, donors, and community leaders have contributed their time, knowledge, and passion. Together, we have helped families access safe water, students receive quality education, communities strengthen local economies and health outcomes, and helped shape brighter possibilities for futures across the world.
The impact we celebrate today is the result of our collective effort over time — communities working together to build opportunities that last. That’s what makes it golden.
What began with two passionate teachers in 1976 has grown into a local and global network of supporters who believe in the power of community-led change.
As we mark this golden anniversary year, we are sharing Moments That Made Us stories of partnership, resilience, and learning that have shaped who we are today. Whether you’ve been right alongside us for decades or have recently joined our community, we’d love for you to share your own Change for Children memories so we can tell this story together!
Your commitment has helped shape 50 years of impact.
And we’re just getting started.
