Karito Kids
Karito [‘ka-ree‘-toe], a word from the constructed international language, Esperanto, meaning charity and love of one’s neighbor perfectly identifies our hopes and goals. Karito Kids by KidsGive™ are not just dolls and books – they are a philosophy. We believe that children around the world are fundamentally the same and that, given the chance; they want to help each other however they can. At KidsGive we want to help teach children around the world about the importance of social responsibility and charitable giving. Through our Activation process you will be able to help children in some of the countries that you learn about. After entering the special code found on your doll, book or accessory, you will be able to read about four causes that we are supporting and actually choose the one you want to donate to. You can also choose to get email that tells you about the progress of the cause!
