About
An NGO that uses an issue based, child rights programming approach to advocate for the rights of children in conflict and contact with the law as well as those at risk. This is done through policy/law advocacy, capacity building, direct support and community/ media awareness raising. Our programmes focus on legal aid and social development to improve outcomes for children, foster restoration and reintegration into the family and community. Over the years, we have implemented projects ranging from combatting child marriage and prostitution, social economic empowerment for vulnerable youth and their families through formation of cooperatives and clubs, training in business management and support for vocational and life skill to STOP SGBV project, Championing restorative child justice in Zambia, Legal aid desks for children, mother to child health and nutrition project targeting correctional facilities and Child rights governance. The latter includes 4 years coordination of the National Child Rights Forum, a coalition of over 20 child focused Civil Society Organizations in Zambia, monitoring and reporting on child rights implementation in the country. Our vision is a Zambia society that upholds children’s rights and is free from all forms of child injustice.
