Mission
Helping Hare Krsna Youth Help Themselves.

Children of Krishna, Inc., supports, furthers, and protects the educational, economic, emotional, and spiritual development of the children of the Hare Krsna movement.

Goals
Children of Krishna aims to help the leaders of ISKCON achieve the following:
(a) Create a loving environment for our children and protect them from harm;
(b) Provide our students with a first-class, well-rounded education through trained professional teachers and exceptional schools;
(c) Give our young adults the transitional training and support they need to become productive and happy members of society.

Details
Children of Krishna, Inc., was formed in 1996 during the annual meeting of ISKCON's North American leaders. CKI assists young men and women who grew up in the Hare Krishna movement by providing grants and loans for continuing education and for personal and occupational development. Grants have supported internships, counselling, reunions, university tuition, youth publications, and the purchase of computer equipment for ISKCON-affiliated schools. Thanks to the generous contributions of ISKCON members and friends, CKI had given out more than $240,000 to young devotees by early 2004.
