They speak local languages, understand local challenges and have a strong grasp on what it’s like to be a child growing up in that community.
Through these partnerships, ChildFund reaches kids directly while also involving parents, teachers and local governments in upholding children’s rights.
Given their roots in the community, local partners can promote stronger local decision-making and have a greater effect on the local power base.
Every six months, local partners make sure each enrolled child is still living in the community and participating in our programs.
The staff of ChildFund’s local partner organizations has deep roots in the communities where they work because they live there.
