Launched in October 2002, The Child Health Site focuses the power of the Internet on a specific need – saving children’s lives and improving the quality of their health. Over 200,000 children die every week from preventable causes, and many millions more suffer from preventable disease, curable blindness, landmines and other crippling accidents.
In less than five seconds, visitors to The Child Health Site can click on the “Click Here to Give – it’s FREE” button and, at no cost to them, save young lives and help children stay healthy. How? Each click – free to the visitor – generates funds paid by site sponsors. The majority of this funding goes to The Child Health Site’s charity partners, who use the funds to:distribute vitamin A, strengthening young immune systems and improving resistance to disease. Vitamin A supplementation also prevents as many as 400,000 cases of childhood blindness each year, administer oral re-hydration formula to children with severe dehydration, a serious killer of children under five worldwide, make a prosthesis (usually a foot or a leg) to enable child amputees to walk and lead active lives, restore lost eyesight through simple surgeries that reverse blindness caused by cataracts and trachoma, test pregnant mothers for HIV as a step toward preventing mother-to-child transmission of the AIDS virus. Funding from the site helps an average of more than 1,000 children every day. A breakdown of the number of children helped each day is included on the Results – How You’re Helping page. Together, we’ve helped more than half a million children in our first year alone!
The Child Health Site combines the intent of three former members of the GreaterGood Network. Launched by GreaterGood.com, Inc. in 2000 and 2001, The Child Survival Site, The Kids AIDS Site, and The Landmine Site addressed the issues now combined into this single site.

About the owners of The Child Health Site The Child Health Site is owned and operated by Tim Kunin and Greg Hesterberg, co-owners of CharityUSA.com (parent company of GreaterGood Network). Long-time friends and environmental activists, Tim Kunin and Greg Hesterberg met at the University of Michigan while working on the Michigan Bottle Bill ballot campaign in 1976. In the late 1990s, they recognized that broad consumer-adoption of the Internet offered a new opportunity to raise funds for good causes.
They purchased The Hunger Site, The Breast Cancer Site and The Rainforest Site in August of 2001, launched The Animal Rescue Site in July 2002, and launched The Child Health Site (combining the original Kids AIDS Site, Child Survival Site, and Landmine Site into a single site devoted to saving and improving the lives of children) in October 2002.
Tim Kunin is a life-long lover of wilderness who has canoed and hiked for thousands of miles in the United States, Canada, and Patagonia. He started working for environmental causes at the University of Michigan, where he walked 200 miles across the state to publicize the need for recycling. He is very interested in children’s issues and has worked for many years with his wife Susan Guzmich and their children Mara and Daniel to raise money to help impoverished children.
