How we work

We partner with various stakeholders to transform vulnerable children’s lives

We work with communities, sponsors, donors, faith-based organisations, partners and the government to address the root causes of poverty and ensure that progress made is sustained long after we have left.

The principles behind our work

Our grassroots approach means staff are friends, confidants and trustworthy partners.
Accountable Consulting with communities, collecting and acting on feedback and complaints, and promoting participation are essential in being accountable.

Child-focused We are committed to helping children of all backgrounds. As well as fulfilling children’s basic needs, we centre their voices in our projects and support them to build self-confidence, skills and independence.

Committed We are committed to the communities we work alongside to ensure family sustainability. When disaster strikes, we are on the ground, quickly providing immediate support.

Sustainable Our community-based and community-owned programmes mean we’re confident that once we have left a community, they will continue to thrive on their own.
Partnering for impact We are proud to work with communities, sponsors, donors, the government and corporate partners to transform vulnerable children’s lives.
Advocating We give children and their communities a voice to influence country-level policies for child protection.
Faith-based Our Christian faith drives our work. We serve and work with all people, regardless of religion to offer hope for a better life for children.
With a holistic approach We tackle the root causes of poverty, working alongside communities to create sustainable change.
