Empowering children as agents of change
Our beneficiaries are key agents of change and we encourage their active engagement and participation as opportunity to take part in fighting against their rights violation and thus making step up in building a better world free of child abuse.
Preventing rights violations
We prevent children's rights violation through fighting against key-causes of school dropout and illiteracy including domestic violence and harassment in the context of our programs and internal operations. We strive to build a successful world leaving behind ignorance due to children rights violation in all their forms.
