ChildVoice

What ChildVoice does

ChildVoice is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2006 and headquartered in Newmarket, New Hampshire, with field operations in Uganda (Lukome Center, Imvepi Refugee Settlement) and Nigeria (Yola, Adamawa State). The organization's mission is restoring the hope and lives of adolescents displaced and traumatized by war and exploitation, with programming spanning counseling, vocational training (agriculture, salon skills, bakery/catering), educational support, and basic-needs provision. Beneficiaries include South Sudanese, Congolese, and Ugandan refugees, Nigerian IDP children, and youth in Ukraine and Moldova.

The organization's revenue model is donation-dependent, drawing from individual one-time and recurring gifts, the Amplified monthly giving program, planned/legacy giving (facilitated via a FreeWill partnership), and a gift catalog of symbolic programmatic items (THRIVE kits, hygiene kits, farm boots, hut renovations, counseling months) priced from $15 to $3,000. Merchandise sales (bracelets, books, cycling jerseys, ornaments) and a sub-brand called the THRIVE Project (menstrual health education and reusable pad kits) provide secondary revenue and programmatic differentiation. Distribution is direct-to-donor via the childvoice.org website, mail, and social channels, while program delivery is in-person at field locations.

ChildVoice employs approximately 20 staff across US, Uganda, and Nigeria offices, led by founder Conrad Mandsager (President) and Nathan Mandsager (CEO). The board of directors includes senior figures from law (Munger Tolles & Olson), finance (Water Island Capital, Renaissance Investment Group), and nonprofit leadership. The organization carries a Candid 2025 Seal of Transparency, a 2024 Great Nonprofits Top Rated Award, and Charity Navigator listing. No public revenue figures, technology platform, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed.
