ChildHope believes that children should enjoy a safe and secure childhood, but for those growing up in the toughest circumstances, these rights are denied. Born into extreme poverty and violence, they have no protection. These children may live and work on the street, be at risk of trafficking or child marriage, victims of abuse or sexual exploitation, working on rubbish dumps or in contact with the law. Children with disabilities are more likely to be stigmatised, abused, exploited or neglected. We believe every child has potential. There are strengths within children, their families, friendships and communities. Policies and systems can be changed, to protect children and give them a better future. We work alongside local partners who have the connections to the children and young people, their friends and families, teachers and wider communities. They bring in-depth knowledge of the environment and culture and in many cases truly unique insight that we could never develop, even after many years. ChildHope offers a global perspective, connections and knowledge of how to develop strong organisations through training, support and mentoring. Together, our approach means we deliver high impact programmes that protect children and transform their lives.
