Give Kids The World Village is an 89-acre nonprofit resort in Kissimmee, Florida that provides critically ill children and their families with week-long wish vacations at no cost.

Half of all critically ill children eligible for a wish choose to visit Central Florida and its theme parks. Give Kids The World aims to fulfill that wish, providing children and their families with all-inclusive vacations including more than 200,000 families from all 50 U.S. states and 77 countries throughout its history. It has been given a four-star rating from Charity Navigator for 15 years in a row, a rating in the top 1% of U.S. charities.
