The goal of ChildRightNow is to globally support the implementation and adherence to children’s rights.

our organisation

Sustainable commitment

The small Swiss aid organisation ChildRightNow International was founded as an association on 28 January 2010. ChildRightNow's projects mainly support children affected by poverty in a sustainable way. ChildRightNow's volunteer board members regularly visit the projects in order to monitor and successfully develop the projects and design new programmes. Direct contact with the partner organisations and the target groups of the projects is very important. Our projects and activities are politically neutral and non-denominational. ChildRightNow handles donations very carefully and keeps administrative costs to a minimum so that the majority of donations flow into the projects.

Our campaigns

For the protection of children

Protecting children against abuse, maltreatment and neglect is our highest priority. Our concern is to draw attention to this problem and to bring about a new way of thinking in the minds of those responsible and the people who silently tolerate the violation of children’s rights.

Our projects and programmes

For justice, for girls

We work tirelessly against injustice and violence towards children and support measures which give children their rights and promote development. Our activities and programmes focus in particular on the protection of girls. We do not only talk about children’s rights, we implement projects which provide real help.

Our conviction

With your involvement

We are convinced that, as humans, we have an ethical obligation to our fellow humans. Civil courage means standing up for the rights of disadvantaged people. Bringing about change can often be difficult, but we implement changes with the opportunities at our disposal. Through our projects, we create the opportunity for people to actively and passively participate in these goals.
