The Way
We Work

Welcome Back!

You have Gifts for Good in your basket.

Welcome Back!

Last time you were here, you were looking to help vulnerable children and families. Your support can save and change lives.

At ChildFund, we want to create a world without poverty where every child can say: “I am safe. I am educated. I contribute. I have a future.”

We work in partnership with children, their communities and local organisations to create lasting change, respond to humanitarian emergencies and promote children’s rights.

Our programs focus on promoting the participation of children in community life, strengthening their protection, and advancing their rights, so that all children have access to the same essential opportunities.

I am safe

By partnering with communities and local organisations, we work to protect children’s safety, strengthen child protection systems and provide urgent humanitarian assistances in times of crises.

We deliver vital support through:

  • Humanitarian Relief: Distribution of emergency supplies, including food, shelter and water during disasters and conflict
  • Child Protection: Specialised projects for children and youth living in vulnerable circumstances, and the establishment of child-centred spaces for safe play, learning, and trauma support
  • Violence Prevention: Initiatives to prevent and respond to family violence

You can learn more about ChildFund’s Child Protection initiatives and policies in the Publications and Reports section of our website.

Through our projects, children are gaining access to early childhood education and quality schooling, where they can develop literacy and numeracy skills, and explore their potential through creative arts, sports, and vocational training.

I contribute

Our programs give children and youth the confidence to share their opinions, and to participate in family and community decision-making on issues which affect them.

This includes:

  • Child-led Initiatives: Promoting child and youth agency by providing platforms for them to lead and influence within their communities
  • Peer-to-Peer Learning: Establishing child-to-child peer education networks, where young people learn from and support each other
  • Children’s Leadership: Supporting children’s participation in impactful sports programs and activities, adopting teamwork, leadership skills, and personal development.

We publish one of the world’s largest global polls on children’s views, providing a critical platform for their voices to be heard on a global scale.
