HOME > WHAT WE DO > Children for change

Children are involved in community-building

  • We provide economic and leadership opportunities so women and other vulnerable adults can champion change
  • We include children in planning, designing, monitoring and evaluating our programs and in government meetings, councils and forums
  • We support clubs, youth groups and networks, which give children safe spaces to learn their rights, discuss issues and develop leadership skills
  • We help children make a case for change among local governments and leaders
  • We partner with parents, teachers and community members so children’s aspirations can be championed by all
