The motivation behind C4C:Kaleidoscope began several decades ago with the founding of the Perfect Peace Club in Ghana.  C4C founder Brenya Twumasi co-founded the Perfect Peace Club with Flossie E. Apaloo and Sybil O. Williams Baffoe when they were eleven years old.  At the time, their mission was to serve humanity through public service, and exhibit a model for community collaboration and peace.  They developed a mission statement and constitution for the Perfect Peace Club, and approached neighbors in their Ghanaian community to offer public service.

C4C: Kaleidoscope has been in existence since September, 1992.  It was originally founded under the name CRI: Child Reach International, as a child survival agency, where one of the key issues explored was child slavery.  The name was changed to C4C: Kaleidoscope in 1995.  C4C: Kaleidoscope has offices in both the United States, and Ghana, West Africa.  C4C's founder is from Africa.  Staffers and board members of C4C are from Africa, North America, South America, Europe, and the Middle East. 

The official public launch of C4C: Kaleidoscope took place on 4 September 1994, at George Washington University's Lisner Auditorium.  A concert was presented, featuring Zaire artist Koffi Olomide, and C4C used the forum to shed light on the plight of the genocide occurring in Rwanda and Burundi.  The concert was sponsored by Zanzibar on the Waterfront.  4000 guests were in attendance.

Within the United States C4C is working with diverse refugee communities.  Displaced refugees are given humanitarian aid by United Nations entities, regional organizations and civil society groups for a defined period of time, after which the expectation is that the refugees become self sustaining; however, this is most often not the case.  Many refugees remain despondent.  C4C is helping with integration issues faced by refugee families. One of the main goals of C4C in 2009 is to identify and develop young community leaders within the refugee populations. Another goal of C4C is to help the surrounding community to understand, welcome and accept the refugee family.

The African branch of C4C advocates unity and cooperation within an interdependent status quo.  Since the late 1950's and early 1960's family members of the board members of C4C, including the founder's, have been actively serving the public, aiming to model and foster collaboration and peace within the various regions of Africa.  Honored and missed C4C co-founders, Doctors Victor K. Kumoji, Patrick A. Twumasi Sr., and Patrick A. Twumasi Jr, dedicated their lives to public service in Africa.  C4C continues this longstanding effort.
