With the click of a button, Visa is helping children all over the world read. To the benefit of Children International, Visa, Inc. has come up with “Click for a Cause”– a new campaign that will provide new books to needy children around the world.

“Click for a Cause” allows for internet users to click on a button to send a $1 donation from Visa to Children International for the cause of new books. Visa, Inc. will provide Children International, a US based charitable organization up to $50,000 for the purchase of books for impoverished children across the world. Children International has nearly 100 libraries for children in 11 countries across the globe.

“This is a great opportunity for us and for our children. Visa’s sponsorship of our “Click for a Cause” program will help us purchase more than 5,000 books for our libraries in impoverished communities around the world,” stated Children International’s President and CEO Jim Cook.

“Their support of this program definitely demonstrates Visa’s commitment to education and helping children find their way out of poverty.”
