Children Believe Fund

Background - About Children BelieveChildren Believe works globally to empower children to dream fearlessly, stand up for what they believe in — and be heard. For more than 60 years, we’ve brought together brave young dreamers, caring supporters and partners, and unabashed idealists. Together, we’re driven by a common belief: creating access to education — inside and outside of classrooms — is the most powerful tool children can use to change their world. A member of ChildFund Alliance, Children Believe is part of a global network of 12 child-focused development organizations working to create opportunities for children and youth, their families and communities. The Alliance helps nearly 23-million children and their families in more than 70 countries overcome poverty and underlying conditions that prevent children from achieving their full potential. We work to end violence against children; provide expertise in emergencies and disasters to ease the harmful impact on children and their communities; and engage children and youth to create lasting change and elevate their voices in decisions that affect their lives.IntroductionChildren Believe Ethiopia Country Programme has been operational in Ethiopia since 1987. We strongly believe in local partnership as programs implemented with local partners increase the collective knowledge, skills, reach, and experience to deal with child poverty, inequality, and injustice.

Our programs focus on increasing inclusive and quality education, improving maternal and child health nutrition, promoting child participation and protection, strengthening disaster risk management and humanitarian actions, and enhancing gender equality.
