Kids International Foundation was established in 1999 by Shade' Ogunleye,
as a non-profit 503(c) corporation to aid the children of El Faro Orphanage in Tijuana, Mexico.
Orphanages do not receive financial support from the Mexican government, therefore it is necessary to solicit donations to
feed, clothe, educate and provide for the medical needs of the children.
