CarriersEdge Donation Helps Kids Alive Expand Operations

May 3, 2007 – CAMBRIDGE, ON – Kids Alive International (KAI), a non-profit organization providing Christian care to children at risk around the world, today announced the release of its Online Global Policy Manual, made possible by a donation from CarriersEdge, the leading provider of online driver quality programs. The Online Global Policy Manual, the first program of its kind in the North American non-profit community, will be used to train field staff at KAI missions around the world.

KAI programs rescue suffering children-in-crisis all over the world, operating in more than a dozen developing countries such as Zambia, Kenya, Peru, and Myanmar. Since its founding in 1916, KAI has helped thousands of children through its homes, care centres, and schools, with aggressive plans for growing those operations in the coming years.

The Online Global Policy Manual will help ensure the quality and consistency of field operations staff at KAI’s missions around the world. CarriersEdge designed and developed the program, donating more than 1000 hours of effort over 18 months.

“Kids Alive International was looking for a way to provide a compelling, effective educational experience to our field staff around the world”, said Scott Forbes, Executive Director of Kids Alive International Canada. “With their donation of time to build this program, CarriersEdge has given us an outstanding tool for supporting our growth and we’re grateful for their generous gift.”

The KAI Online Global Policy Manual will be used as the foundation of training programs for existing staff and new hires at KAI ministries around the world. Portions of the program will also be provided through the KAI website, helping to educate prospective missionaries as well.

“Kids Alive International provides a tremendously valuable service to children in need around the world”, noted Mark Murrell, President of CarriersEdge. “They’ve shown exceptional vision by adopting online tools for this program and we’re extremely pleased to be able to support them.”
