Child United

Child United is an international relief organization with a focus on education. The volunteer-led humanitarian group also provides disaster relief assistance to countries in desperate need. Their main mission is to empower the poorest children in the developing world, believing that educating a child will lead them, their family and eventually their community out of poverty.
==History and organization==
Child United began in Seattle on May 1, 2007. While on a family vacation to the Philippines in 2006, Seattle resident Christine Umayam was struck by the poverty she witnessed. After another trip the following year, she quit her corporate job and founded the organization.
In 2009, the organization expanded its focus after Typhoon Ketsana struck Asia. "When we found out that there was so much devastation in the Philippines," said Umayam, "we just had to change our focus and put it out there for relief."
The Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation selected Child United's founder as one of 10 national finalists in 2011 for the Citizen Before Self Award in the category of Americans who have made a difference in the lives of others through continued commitment to putting others before themselves. Although it did not award Umayam a medal, the Foundation said that she "has helped thousands of the poorest children, who are susceptible to sex trafficking and child labor, by sponsoring children who want to learn, building learning centers and sending educational supplies abroad."
