Distressed Children & Infants International is a non-profit organization based in Cheshire, Connecticut.[1] DCI's flagship program is the "Sunchild Sponsorship" (SCSP) program, which currently supports over 800 children in Bangladesh. The organization also sponsors other programs through their Disaster Relief Program, Childhood Blindness Prevention (CBP) Program, Health for the Underprivileged Program, and Orphan Support Program.[2]
Founded in 2003 by current Executive Director Dr. Ehsan Hoque, DCI's mission is to provide children worldwide with an education, basic needs, and health care, while educating young Americans about the challenges of poverty-stricken individuals.[3]. Distressed Children International's President is currently Dr. Brian DeBroff of the Yale School of Medicine.[4][5]
