Our vision is a world where no child is forgotten.
We believe that the only way to break the vicious cycle of poverty and exclusion is through an approach tailored to the unique needs and situation of each child.
We tackle the root causes of exclusion and vulnerability and work with the child
, their family and the wider community to create lasting change.
Where we work
We work in different districts across the country to improve the lives of the most marginalized children and young people. Life without education is dirty, violent and short. Street connected children are the target of human trafficking, child labor and physical, sexual and psychological abuse. They are often seen as a burden to society – not as children deprived of their basic human needs and needing protection and care.
"Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. Every aspect of the project is designed to ensure the new income generating activities are continued after the project ends."
