Your support helps to protect, educate and empower vulnerable children across five countries in Africa. Together we can help ensure that street-connected children, children with disabilities, children affected by conflict and children in conflict with the law are not forgotten and can access a brighter future

Beneficiaries
Situation
The children we help are excluded from society, unable to go to school and living in poverty. Street children face human trafficking and child labour. Children with disabilities are 3 times more likely to be sexually abused. Children affected by conflict suffer trauma and miss school. To survive, children have no choice but steal food or fight for a spot to sleep. When arrested they end up in overcrowded adult prisons at risk of abuse. All these children are forgotten, forced to grow up too soon
Solution
We work with visionary community leaders and governments to implement locally-relevant projects that create lasting change in the Justice, Education and Social Protection sectors. This enables us to focus on ‘hard to reach’ children, in terms of their complex needs (eg street children with learning difficulties) and location (urban slums, remote areas). Together we make ideas and impact both sustainable and scalable to protect, educate and empower some of the world’s most disadvantaged children.
