Our Mission

Life In Color was created to support children around the world facing the gravest of challenges.  We believe all children should have a chance to live and grow in safety and peace, and with the resources they need to excel.  We partner with boots-on-the-ground nonprofits worldwide to address the most urgent needs of children faced with the unimaginable hardships of war, hunger, disease, and abuse.  Each Life In Color campaign is focused on a specific initiative to ensure funding and awareness are directed to the most pressing needs.

Founded by Thomas Cheng, the inspiration for Life In Color came from his own family.  Thomas’ love for his three daughters instilled a deep belief in him that we must invest in the world’s children– regardless of their starting point– to create a better future for us all.  Thomas’ late mother was passionate about this belief, and her commitment to helping others lives on through the work of Life In Color and its wonderful partners.

All children deserve to live safe, healthy, and happy lives.
