What we believe in/Organizational Theory of Change

FOCUS

Programming on children as agents of change and their experience of deprivation,  exclusion and vulnerability

Programs that address holistic child development are the most likely to build on children’s strengths, help mitigate their weaknesses and build effective relationships with others.

Children’s experiences of deprivation, exclusion and vulnerability may differ substantially from the views of adults.

Children of all ages are capable of expressing their views, given appropriate strategies to engage them. Encouraging children to voice their feelings and attitudes builds agency.

The strength of society is built on its actions for the well-being of all, especially the most vulnerable.

ENGAGE

With families and communities to build lasting change in children’s well-being

Children have the right to a safe and stimulating local environment, with adequate conditions to address their needs, concern for their thoughts and feelings, and the opportunity to develop to their full potential.

Children’s development is impacted by their own characteristics (agency), as well as their relationships with important people in their lives, such as caregivers, immediate family members, extended family, neighbors, peers and service providers (health care workers and teachers).
It is also impacted by the local environment (parents’ work )
