About us
ChildFund International (http://www.ChildFund.org) is a global child-focused development and protection agency and a founding member of the ChildFund Alliance. ChildFund International works throughout Asia, Africa and the Americas — including the United States – to connect children with what they need to grow up safe, healthy, educated and skilled, no matter where they are. Last year, we reached 13.6 million children and family members in 24 countries. About 200,000 Americans support our work by sponsoring individual children or investing in ChildFund programs. Since 1938, we have worked to help children break the generational cycle of poverty and achieve their full potential. We align what we learn from children with best practices in the international development field to develop and deliver programs that are supported by the generosity of sponsors and donors.

“When my mother wants to access any social media platform, she asks for my help to navigate it. I am proud to be part of the peer educators who will be leading dialogue sessions with other students on identifying and reporting online child sexual abuse. So far, I have learned how to report any content that I find disturbing online and most importantly, the different forms of online child sexual exploitation and abuse.” Nadia, 10 (redacted) Like Nadia, many children in peri-urban setups find themselves helping their parents to access their social media platforms due to their limited digital literacy skills. This poses a risk to children as they can access content unsuitable for their age. By equipping children with knowledge about online dangers, they lead in creating awareness among their peers, parents, and by extension, the communities they live in as they become part of the #safeonline generation!
