WV KIDS COUNT is determined to make West Virginia a great place to be a kid.

WV KIDS COUNT believes every child in West Virginia counts, so we help policymakers make the best decisions possible by producing our signature Data Book that annually tracks the well-being of children over time and across West Virginia to provide high quality, unbiased information and encourage action on behalf of kids and families.

WV KIDS COUNT supports the well-being of all children in West Virginia by building partnerships with child-serving organizations to stand up for what kids need.

We are making it part of our mission to highlight organizations that are doing good things in West Virginia...❤️ This week we recognize Keep Your Faith Corporation!

Keep Your Faith Corporation, Inc. (KYFC) began as a literacy focused volunteer group meeting the needs of local children and adults struggling with the ability to read and write. Program development has since been designed to resolve academic and behavioral challenges rooted in social and environmental issues. Through community outreach and personal insight, Dural (pictured here) and his team understand that problems with illiteracy are rarely a standalone issue. KYFC has been developed in an effort to prevent and address barriers and deficits that often accompany delays in social and academic development.
They envision a family-centered, community-based environment that promotes developmental opportunities in a setting that encourages, values, and nurtures all of its members.

KYFC wants to spread their message of hope and compassion. They believe that a single action can make a difference in the community, and that collective action can greatly impact the world. Through advocacy and outreach activities, their team works tirelessly each day to contribute their part to the greater good.
