Why Child Protection?

Child protection is the safeguarding of children from violence, exploitation, abuse, and neglect. In Uganda for example according to UNICEF, there are 17.1 million children below the age of 18 which makes 56% of the entire population of the country; 11.3% of these are orphans, 8% are critically vulnerable, while 43% are moderately vulnerable and 49% of women aged 20-49 year, were married before the age of 18 years and 15% by the age of 15 years and below.

Solution

Our focus as an organization is to help build communities of loving people to protect children through community education and empowerment to prevent harm and ensure that those who are harmed receive the help they need to recover.
