The Child Health Site

Tim Kunin and Greg Hesterberg own and operate the Child Health Site. They are co-owners of CharityUSA.com which is the parent company of the GreaterGood Network.

Tim and Greg have been long-time friends and environmental activists and launched The Child Health Site in October 2002. They merged the original Kids AIDS site, Child Survival site and Landmine site into one in order to help save and improve children's lives.

GreaterGood.org distributes 100% of the funds received through clicks and donations directly to their partner charities. It is a charitable organization which devotes itself to helping people in need (especially women and children), abandoned animals and protecting the environment.

On average, over 70,000 supporters from across the world visit the site every day to click the blue "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button. Thus far, over 100 million visitors have helped more than 2,161,000 children.

In 2008, visitor clicks funded basic, vital health care services for 782,630 children in need around the world, up from 520,983 in 2007. Purchases at The Child Health Site store helped an additional 207,327 children in need, up from 136,636 in 2007.

Supporters visit the site and click everyday on the "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button. These clicks are recorded by their servers and a Thank You page is displayed after each click displaying ads from their site sponsors.

You don't need to click on the ads and there is no cost to you. 100% of the ad revenue generated through clicks is directed to the Child Health Site charitable partners. The more people click, the more children receive free healthcare.

All the clicks from supporters are tabulated and then site sponsors are billed accordingly for the appropriate amount. The funds generated are then distributed to the charitable partners like the Mercy Corps, Prosthetics Outreach Foundation, Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation and Helen Keller International.

Supporters can click once daily, every day of the year at the Child Health Site. An internal system is set up to monitor one click per supporter, per calendar day. If you click multiple times in one day, only one click will count.
