Our Children's Home International Inc. is deeply committed to upholding the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) in all our programs and activities. We believe that every child deserves to have their rights respected, protected, and fulfilled. Here are some ways we uphold the UN rights of the child:
1. Right to Survival and Development (Article 6): We provide access to basic necessities like food, water, shelter, healthcare, and education to ensure children's physical and mental well-being.
2. Right to Protection (Article 19): We protect children from all forms of violence, abuse, neglect, and exploitation through our safe housing, counseling, and advocacy programs.
3. Right to Education (Article 28): We support access to quality education, vocational training, and skills development to empower children for a brighter future.
4. Right to Participation (Article 12): We encourage children's active participation in decision-making processes that affect their lives, fostering self-expression and self-advocacy.
5. Right to Identity (Article 8): We help children maintain their cultural identity, language, and family connections, promoting a sense of belonging and self-worth.
6. Right to Health (Article 24): We provide access to medical care, sanitation, and hygiene facilities to ensure children's physical and mental health.
7. Right to Family (Article 9): We support family reunification and alternative care arrangements, ensuring children's right to a loving and nurturing environment.
By upholding these rights, we empower vulnerable children in Africa to overcome adversity, reach their full potential, and become active contributors to their communities. Our programs are designed to address the unique needs of each child, promoting holistic development and well-being.
