Mission, Vision and Policy


Mission 

ChildsLife offers international practical help to children and their surroundings. The organization aims to give children a better life and the opportunity to create their own future. ChildsLife’s work supports children on the spot in cooperation with the local community and local partners.

Vision 

ChildsLife believes that every child has the right to shelter,  food, education, positive support and encouragement. Especially a child that lives in poverty. This foundation empowers a child and offers opportunities to build a future themselves.

Policy

ChildsLife believes projects and programs do not need a lot of frills to be effective, and sometimes the simplest solution has the most impact. Our approach focuses on providing practical solutions to help children. Our tailor-made approach ensures that ChildsLife’s activities are based upon the direct needs of children and their community. ChildsLife reaches out to abandoned children, street children, HIV/Aids orphaned and those that are destitute.

This support ranges from providing daily food and education to installing water pumps and systems. We build and repair schools; we provide vocational training and provide support for street children.

When ChildsLife begins working with a local partner our focus is on strengthening and setting that organization on the path of self-sustainability. With very few exceptions, our goal is for the children and local organizations we support to no longer need us. We also believe that it is not always possible for a local partner to find a solution with a one-time gift. Therefore, ChildsLife is prepared to work on a long-term basis with its local partner as long as results are being shown, needs are being addressed, and the budget is being handled in a cost efficient way.
