WHAT WE DO
Focusing primarily on education, child rights and economic empowerment, we develop community-led programmes for vulnerable children in Southern and Eastern Africa.
Our aim is that children who are isolated, exploited or lacking the opportunity they deserve, have the skills to change their own futures. And that their families and communities are able to support them along the way.

WHERE WE WORK
We work across five countries – Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe – in areas where children are acutely impacted by:
Lack of opportunity
In low or no-income households, children often do not have access to basic necessities and education.
Isolation
In communities where there are high rates of orphanhood, children are often suffering from emotional and social distress.
Exploitation
In areas where practices such as child labour, abandonment and early marriage are prominent, children are often unsafe.
