Who we are
Sharing the advantages we have had.
The Childhood for Children Foundation was set up in 2010 by the Cochran family; Doug, Liz, Katie, Nik and Casey. The motivation behind the foundation is to play some part in helping children, both in Canada and elsewhere in the world, to have a healthy, safe and rewarding childhood and to assist children in achieving their potential as human beings.
The Cochrans realize that due to the good fortune of where and when we were born, we have enjoyed rich and carefree childhoods that few people in the world have the benefit of. We want to share the advantages we have had.
How we choose to give
Sometimes our support is based on the good work the organizations have done for children whose lives are diminished by disasters perpetrated by adults, sometimes by natural disasters and at times we have had the luxury of supporting efforts which improve the lives of children, which are not disastrous.
Disasters made by adults
Children whose lives are diminished by war and conflict.
