EveryChild Charity

EveryChild is an international development charity committed to protecting the rights of the world's most vulnerable and marginalised children. For over 25 years and across 15 countries EveryChild fight to protect the most vulnerable and excluded children, giving them the chance to grow up in loving families with a safe and secure future. In all their projects they aim to innovate to bring about lasting, positive change in partnership with communities and governments.

EveryChild projects give children the tools they need to shape their own futures. In order to do this EveryChild listen to what the communities tell them, and design each project to meet their specific needs. They deliver ground-breaking child-centred services to support and protect those children who are most vulnerable and hardest to reach, already separated from their families and coping alone.

EveryChild ensure that the simple and practical initiatives they put in place to reach and protect vulnerable children will last long into the future.

Every child deserves the right to enjoy a childhood!

How your donations to EveryChild Charity will be used?

Millions of children around the world have to cope not just with growing up in poverty, but growing up alone, separated from their families. Orphaned by AIDS, abandoned into institutional care, escaping violence, trafficked into a life of prostitution or forced into child labour - these children are at their most vulnerable. Most at risk of ending up on the streets, in danger of abuse and exploitation.

EveryChild keeps children safe when they are alone and vulnerable, either within their community, or through crisis care and support. They protect children at risk by keeping families together. And they get children back into the care and security of a family environment, wherever they can. EveryChild looks at three main areas:

• Keeping families together including keeping children in school, preventing children from entering institutions, providing material assistance and crisis support, and supporting families with counselling and parenting skills training
• Keeping children safe including safeguarding children through child protection units and rescuing children from a life on the streets
• Getting children back into families including removing children from institutional care and saving children from child labour and exploitation

EveryChild believe that all children have the right to grow up safe and cared for, to go to school and play, and that every child deserves the chance of a childhood.
