What We Do
We exist to ensure that every child in Africa can thrive from their early years through to adulthood.
We stand together
We don’t work alone.
Together with partners, supporters, children and their communities, we protect, educate and create lasting change for every child threatened by violence, neglect and conflict.
Our mission is to fight for children across Africa to lead independent lives through urgent action in education, health and economic resilience.
Inclusive education
Inclusive education is an approach that supports all children to thrive in regular schools.
Through our inclusive education work, we reach children who have fallen through the cracks. Many of the most marginalised children, including those with disabilities, end up leaving education early because local schools and teachers aren’t equipped to give them the support they need. We have developed a range of projects to tackle this.
In schools, we’re working with teachers to identify developmental delays and disabilities in children early, so they can get the support they need. In communities, we’re working with children and their parents to improve enrolment, retention and learning outcomes – giving children the best chance to succeed in the classroom.
Economic empowerment
Our objective is to ensure that all of the families we support are economically secure. Through livelihoods initiatives, we equip vulnerable families with the tools and education they need to provide for themselves and their children. We also focus on expanding access to social protection schemes for more vulnerable and marginalised populations.
These include access to financial services, savings groups, and small business support, with a focus on climate-smart livelihoods that can withstand environmental shocks. We strengthening local markets and economic inclusion for women, and provide skills training and vocational opportunities for young people.
