Healthy Child Healthy World is dedicated to protecting the health and well being of children from harmful environmental exposures. We educate parents, support protective policies, and engage communities to make responsible decisions, simple everyday choices, and well-informed lifestyle improvements to create healthy environments where children and families can flourish. (Formerly known as CHEC - Children’s Health Environmental Coalition).

Healthy Child Healthy World exists because over 125 million of America’s children now face an historically unprecedented rise in chronic disease and illness such as cancer, autism, asthma, birth defects, ADD / ADHD, and learning and developmental disabilities. Credible scientific evidence increasingly points to environmental hazards and household chemicals as causing and contributing to many of these diseases.

As a national leader for nearly two decades, Healthy Child Healthy World (Formerly CHEC) has become the nation’s leading organization of its kind, and helps millions of parents, educators, health professionals, and the general public take action to create healthy environments and embrace green, non-toxic steps.
