Strengthening Families, Protecting children

We are an African child and family development non profit organization. For over 25 years and in collaboration with children, families, communities, governments and the private sector, we have raised awareness, provided insights, developed, implemented and scaled up evidence based solutions that tackle root causes of violence, poverty, and inequality. We believe that all children deserve to reach their full potential.
