KMI is vested in Roatan Island, Honduras and in India providing much needed help to the abused and/or abandoned children in these desperate places. KMI also is making a difference in our own backyard too. The Clothe-a-Child program celebrated its 20th year of its grass roots efforts, and with a new KMI partnership they had their best year ever, even in one of history's worst economies. KMI raised enough funds to clothe over 1100 children in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area of North Texas. To learn more about this organization, visit www.kidsmatterinternational.org
