Yet an estimated 220 million children worldwide are growing up without the care they need. These are the children we work to support through our programmes, so they can thrive and build their future.
CHILDREN HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE CARED FOR
All children have a right to have their basics need to grow and develop. Their fundamental rights are enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which includes the rights to:
- live with a family that cares for them
- live in a safe and clean environment
- have nutrition and healthcare
- be educated
- play and rest
- give their opinion and be listened to
