Children on the Edge

Children should ideally be found safely at the centre of a family. They should be enveloped with layers of protection from their government and wider international authorities. Tragically the children we help have often been stripped of these forms of care and protection.

These are children who have lost their parents due to conflict, disaster or disease, children whose governments persecute them until they flee their homes, and children overlooked by the radar of international justice. Even the roving eyes of the media don’t settle on the children we work with, they are no longer at the centre, but pushed to the edges.

Children on the Edge exists to provide these children with a safe environment where they are protected and their rights to education, nourishment and play are upheld. A place where they can simply be children.

Be it Learning Centres in Bangladesh for working children, innovative sports programmes in the slums of Haiti, or safe places across Africa for children without parental care; we always go where the need is greatest, and we stay until the job is done.
