Foundation History

Hal & Denise Young originally started a family foundation using their personal funds in 2005 in an effort to help the children at an orphanage located east of Leon, Nicaragua. The Young Family Foundation, along with other family members and friends, delivered hygiene kits, clothing, and toys to the orphanage during Christmas of 2005.

In Late 2006, the Young Family foundation changed their name to the Worldwide Child Relief Foundation. . In the last seven years the foundation has delivered dental aid, infrastructure projects, clothing, educational items/services, and sports and craft equipment to impoverished areas of Nicaragua.

WCRF continues to work in the region with the objective of trying to help families and children to help themselves by improving living and health conditions, educational opportunities, local economic conditions, and enrichment activities.

Worldwide Child Relief continues to bring volunteers to northern Nicaragua on a regular basis to deliver goods and services, in the hope of improving the quality of life for children.
