Child Aid Child Aid is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit based in Portland, Oregon working to promote literacy in Latin America. According to Child Aid's mission statement, the organization works to "create opportunity for Latin America’s rural and indigenous poor through childhood literacy and education programs."〔http://www.child-aid.org〕 Child Aid works primarily in Guatemala, as it is the country with the lowest literacy rate in Latin America. Child Aid also founded and oversees a speech and hearing center for poor children who are deaf or hard of hearing in Oaxaca, Mexico. Child Aid again received a four-star rating (the highest given) from Charity Navigator in 2011. Charity Navigator awards four stars to organizations that use their money most efficiently. At Child Aid, over 90% of donations go directly to programs in Latin America.〔http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.history&orgid=8219〕 == History ==
In 1987, founders Rick Carroll and Nancy Press spent time in southern Mexico where they discovered an absence of services for deaf and hard-of-hearing children. They began bringing extra hearing aids to a local doctor in Oaxaca, and over time, CORAL developed. CORAL is now a full service speech and hearing clinic for which Child Aid provides oversight and assistance. Child Aid has since expanded its work to focus on Guatemala where the organization has conducted library and literacy work for over 15 years.〔http://www.child-aid.org〕
