“Kids Helping Kids” ~ Let’s repaint the earth with children’s art~

Since its establishment in 1988, KEF has sponsored and carried out distribution of art supplies, picture books, and more donations for children throughout the world who suffer from the results of war, poverty and environmental contamination. They also focus to provide children a warm support and hope. Such wish led to establish 12 KIDS EARTH HOME all over the world where street children and orphans can stay.

They put most effort on supporting children’s mental health by art. They donate art supplies and allow children to express their inner feelings. Art workshops are held in Croatia, Vietnam, Cambodia, New York after 911 incident, Afghanistan, disastered areas caused by Indian Ocean Tsunami and many more. In Japan, they held art workshops countless times at pediatric wards and orphanage.

KEF has held exhibitions of children's art in such major centers as Pompidou Center in Paris, GATT Headquarters in Geneva, the Pushkin Museum in Moscow and the World Trade Center in Boston. A selection of children's paintings are reproduced with the assistance of corporate sponsorships to create marketable products such as calendars, wrapping paper, greeting cards, logo stickers and many more. Sponsorship proceeds help facilitate the global communication of KEF's mission statement advocating peace and conservation. Profits are returned to children in need to fulfill our slogan, “Kids Helping Kids”.

The art created by these children, which displays a purity and simplicity only children can visualize, opens opportunities and spread a circle of kind hearts.
