Children of the Nations (COTN) is a nonprofit organization focused on raising children out of poverty and hopelessness by providing care, education, nutrition, medical services, and community development in communities where orphans and destitute children live. The organization partners with local communities to establish Children’s Homes for orphans and Village Partnership Programs that support orphans and children from impoverished families or those cared for by guardians who cannot provide adequately. Its work aims to empower nationals toward self-sufficiency and sustainable improvement in the involved regions. Based in Silverdale, Washington, COTN was founded in 1995 and operates programs in Sierra Leone, Malawi, Uganda, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti. The organization’s approach includes initiatives in agriculture, clean water, and skills training, alongside ongoing education and health services to address comprehensive needs of vulnerable children. A recent development noted is the appointment of a new CEO in April 2026, signaling leadership transition within the organization.
