Give Kids The World exists only to fulfill the wishes of all children with life-threatening illnesses and their families around the world to experience a memorable, joyful, cost-free visit to the Central Florida attractions and to enjoy Give Kids The World Village for as long as there is a need.

Description:
The most magical sound in the world is that of a child’s laughter.

That is what fills the air at Give Kids The World Village—a wish-fulfilling, fanciful, carefree retreat for children with life-threatening illnesses, and their families.

Give Kids The World Village is a 70-acre, non-profit “storybook” Village located near Central Florida’s most beloved attractions. Here, children and their families are treated to weeklong, cost-free fantasy vacations, complete with accommodations in the Village’s whimsical villas, transportation, donated attraction tickets, meals, and much more.

At the Village, these precious children learn that dreams really do come true, as they and their families are immersed in joy, hope, and non-stop fun for a few unforgettably happy days. Since 1989, the Village has hosted more than 100,000 deserving families from all 50 states and more than 68 countries.

This extraordinary, life-changing experience is Give Kids The World’s gift, made possible only through the generosity of dedicated corporations and countless individuals.
