why children’s rights – Hold the child

" A fair start in life, lights the way "

Disrupting the vicious cycle of poverty

Adverse Childhood Experiences are Significant Predictors of Poverty and Social Instabilities

Because children are the future we desire, we ought to nurture and inspire them to explore the world beyond us. Due to many circumstances, vulnerable and crisis-affected communities are unable to prioritize, let alone afford, dignified child upbringing

In Africa, If all children completed basic secondary education, almost two thirds (⅔) of the Sub-Saharan population would escape poverty

By equipping children with skills needed for a modern workforce, Sub-Saharan Africa could see 2.5% annual GDP growth

Children raised in supportive environments exhibit better emotional regulation, behavioral stability and better productivity prospects

What Hold the Child is Doing?

Child rights at the center of what we do. Whether we are improving service delivery, responding to a disaster, integrating communities, engaging duty bearers, child rights should be emphasized if positive change is to last.

Access to basic services

We champion enterprise models for last mile service delivery, contribute to the strengthening of service delivery systems, and the promotion of service uptake

What do we want to Achieve?

Boys and girls demonstrate self-efficacy, and agency, and lead productive lives in a dynamic and progressive society
