Mission Statement

Laughing Child International is an ecumenical Christian relief and development program.  Laughing Child offers creative advocacy and capacity building opportunities to churches for effective and sustainable responses to children infected and impacted by HIV/AIDS.


"It is important to insist that the word [ecumenical],
which comes from the Greek word for the whole
inhabited earth [oikoumene], is properly used to
describe everything that relates to the whole task of
the whole church to bring the gospel to the whole
world".
