Tyler Page is a kid and a real world hero! When Tyler was nine years old he saw a television story on child trafficking in Ghana, Africa. The children featured in the story were being sold into slavery by their own parents and forced into a life of hard labor. Moved by their plight and the mission of an organization working to address this injustice, Tyler decided to organize a fund raising event. Along with 30 other kids he held a car wash in the hops of raising $240., enough to sponsor one child through the International Organization for Migration. By the end of the day Tyler and his friends has raised nearly $1,200.

Encouraged by their success, Tyler and his mom Linda formed a non-profit organization called Kids Helping Kids Leadership Academy, Inc. They’re working towards a goal of $1,000,000. and in the process are helping kids across the country build leadership skills by fund raising for kids across the globe. Read about the many projects now underway and the inspiring real world heroes who are spearheading them.
