About Us
At ChildFund, we’re committed to creating long-lasting sustainable impact. Our unique approach empowers communities to achieve self-reliance, leading to increased independence among families, improved health, education, and confidence in children, and a sense of purpose among young people.
OUR PURPOSE
We see the potential in every child. And we know you see it too
Our work is centred around helping children and youth to thrive. We work alongside local partners to implement programmes that improve child wellbeing and support communities on their development journey of reaching self-reliance.
Our Impact
Thousands of children worldwide are positively impacted by the support of ChildFund and our caring supporters. Through comprehensive plans (Road Maps), we can create lasting change where children and communities can become self-sustainable and thrive.
Our Approach
It takes a holistic approach to help children thrive. We build meaningful relationships in communities and collaborate with local organisations to implement programmes and solutions that address barriers caused by poverty. The ultimate goal is for each community to achieve self-reliance, where local organisations and families can continue their journey independently.
