NEED HELP?

“There is no trust more sacred than the one the world holds with children. There is no duty more important than ensuring that their rights are respected, that their welfare is protected, that their lives are free from fear and want and that they can grow up in peace.” 

- Kofi Annan.

When we speak about vulnerable people, no person is more vulnerable than a child. Children’s rights are the rights of children with particular attention to the rights of special protection and care accorded to minors. Because millions of children are affected daily by war, poverty, and human rights abuse.

Fortunately, the rights and well-being of children are a significant issue and a major goal for many organizations. We have put together a list of numbers that you can reach out to, for help.
