We are an international partnership protecting children in families and enacting community change.

Our vision is to see every child grow up in a safe and loving family.

The objects of the Charity are, in each case only for the public benefit, and in accordance with Christian principles as set out in the statement of beliefs:

• To preserve the lives, and promote the health and welfare, of children, including protecting children who have suffered harm or whose lives and security are at risk;
• The promotion of the human rights of children (as defined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child) and their parents and guardians;
• To relieve the needs of, and advance in life, children who have been, or who may be: separated or displaced from their families; living in alternative care situations; who have been or may be adopted, fostered or placed in care;
• The prevention and relief of poverty, hardship and suffering of children and their families by undertaking or supporting the provision of relief, aid, and development projects by any charitable means whatsoever;
• To promote the efficiency and effectiveness of organisations and charities whose work will enable the Charity to carry out its objects through the provision of advice, coordination, education and training;
• The advancement of the development and education of children; and
• The advancement of the Christian faith, in each case, in all or any part of the world.
