Our impact

Together with local partners, we strive to ensure children’s needs are met from an early age. We invest in early childhood development and long-term structural change.  

Our impact in 2025

Together with parents, caregivers and local partners, we supported 496,253 children to build better futures by creating opportunities and safe environments, strengthening self-reliance and supporting long-term structural change.  

We work to break the cycle of poverty, create opportunities, and build safe, supportive environments where children can grow up with opportunities and hope.  

We strengthen families to become self-reliant and work alongside communities to create long-term structural change. This enables children to grow up safely, thrive in school, and gradually work towards independence.

Our focus

In our new strategic phase, we’re sharpening our focus on Early Childhood Development and Child Protection to deepen impact and scale results. For example, in Rwanda, we redesigned our programme for the coming five years to be even more ECD-focused, combining different funding sources that prioritise ECD to create a multiplier effect and impact more young children and their families.

In countries like South Sudan, Somalia, Burundi, DR Congo, and Malawi, we combine disaster response with strategies that build resilience. With support from the Dutch Relief Alliance, WFP, ECHO, USAID, and UNICEF, we address urgent needs, from food security and child protection to emergency education.

Our Child-Centred Community Development (CCCD) model drives transformation in India, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Burundi, and Uganda. This holistic approach integrates:

  • Early Childhood Development (ECD)
  • Positive parenting
  • Community empowerment through Self-Help Groups
  • Integrated Farm Planning (PIP)
    We’re committed to learning, adapting, and scaling what works.

Through a mix of private and institutional funding, including strong partnerships with UNICEF, we expanded our reach in 2025.
