Défenseurs des enfants

We provide children with tools and training they need to access education, overcome barriers and be a voice for change. We’ve had an office in Burkina Faso since 1987.

Nous favorisons un développement de qualité pour les enfants

Au Burkina Faso, nous collaborons avec des experts au sein et en dehors de notre organisation pour soutenir la petite enfance, une période cruciale du développement.

Nous changeons les mentalités en travaillant avec le gouvernement pour offrir un programme complet et holistique dans les salles de classe et les espaces adaptés aux enfants dans les camps de déplacés internes.

Nous aidons les enfants à accéder à des soins, à s’inscrire à l’école et à améliorer leur accès à une éducation précoce de qualité.

More about us

You ask, we answer.
Happily.

Sponsorship combines funding from supporters to provide children with access to education so they can thrive in school and life. The program also gives children:

  • Equal access to opportunities and resources, such as clean water, healthcare and quality education
  • Confidence, knowledge and leadership skills to realize their rights
  • Opportunities to have their voices heard through community clubs, public forums and our sponsorship programming
  • The tools to play an active role in improving the systems that are supposed to protect them

And, letters sent between donor and sponsored child contribute to building a child’s confidence, so they’re encouraged to create a brighter future for themselves.

For $44 per month, sponsorship through Children Believe gives a child access to education and provides their community with the tools and resources they need to thrive.

As a child sponsor, you’ll receive an Annual Report as well as an update of your sponsored child’s progress and a new photo, so you can see how they’ve grown. We also include updates from their community so you see what your support, along with their hard work, has accomplished.

Trust and accountability are very important to us. Children Believe uses results-based management to measure and evaluate everything we do. This ensures we’re accountable to you and can achieve the greatest change for children. Read ChildVoice magazine and our online stories to meet the children and families you’re helping.

Since we were founded in 1960, we’ve reached out to children of all faiths, ethnicities and cultures, and all people who want to make a difference in their lives. Yet, in the countries we work, there’s often confusion about whether we serve children of other faiths. As a commitment to our Christian faith principles, we want every child to feel excited and proud our name represents them and every person to feel inspired and welcome to join our cause.
