Is christian childrens fund a scam?

It should be viewed with great caution.

1. It is not Christian, and has dropped "Christian" from it's name - though it collected money as a "Christian" organization for decades, without being one.

2. Your money does not go to the sponsor a child as they imply. Some of it goes to "community building", which vaguely helps "all" members of the community.

3. Some of the funds go to "alternative healers", in other Words some tribal medicine man. While one wishes to respect all "faiths", one can wonder what good a guy dancing around shaking sticks does for starving children.

4. They have always refused to be a part of any organization that audits and keeps tabs on honest and legitimate ministries.

5. It has been advised by many religious and non-profit watchdog groups to donate elsewhere, as there are far more questions then answers with this group.
