The mission of MS KIDS COUNT is to provide accurate and non-partisan data, statistics and original research about the health, education, safety and well-being of Mississippi’s children to policymakers, educators, program administrators, parents, caregivers, advocates, and the general public.  In doing so, MS KIDS COUNT aims to support decision-makers in determining best practices and return on investment strategies on behalf of Mississippi's children. MS KIDS COUNT is funded, in part, by the
Annie E. Casey Foundation.
