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.
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.
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.
