We believe every child deserves a childhood free from violence, to live life in all its fullness, and to realise their God given potential. We want to help every community build a safety net of loving people to protect children and ensure that those who are harmed receive the help they need to recover.

 

Eighty percent of brain development happens in the first three years of life, and 90 per cent is complete by age five. All children have the right to a safe, inclusive and quality education. With access to a quality education, children become lifelong learners and the potential to transform their communities.

 

Good nutrition is an essential foundation for health and development yet every year, 6.6 million children die from preventable causes before their fifth birthday due to the lack of healthcare while malnutrition from prolonged hunger has resulted in 3.1 million child deaths annually.

 

Ending intergenerational cycles of poverty is at the heart of our approach to helping the most vulnerable families lift themselves out of poverty for good. We work with community members to develop relevant skills for them to bring into the workplace. This not only provides a potential and sustainable livelihood for the future but also instils hope and aspirations for a better life.

 

Women and children are the most vulnerable to the lack of clean water and basic sanitation, leading to rampant diseases and increased infant mortality rates. We believe every child deserves and has the right to use safe water and live in a clean environment.
