Brazil
Projecto Legal
Projeto Legal, established in 1993, is a Brazilian nongovernmental human rights organisation
working for the promotion and defence of human rights, especially of children, adolescents and
youth. Their focus is the legal and psycho-social care of citizens who have experienced rights
violations. For this, their interdisciplinary team deals with the particularities of each individual
case and works to keep citizens' ownership of their rights. They aim to contribute to the full
exercise of citizenship and the development of a more humane, just and democratic society, by
both direct implementation of programmes and projects and through influencing decisionmakers and advocating for policy and practice changes at national and local levels.
Associação Brasileira Terra dos Homens
The organization was founded in 1996 building on extensive experience in late and inter-racial
adoption programmes and recognition that approximately 80% of children in institutions in Brazil
have some sort of recoverable family bond. The institutional experience over the last 15 years
includes not only reintegration to original families and communities, but also foster care and
other alternatives forms of care. Terra dos Homens have defined a three-fold strategy for
transformation of reality of children in jeopardy in Brazil.
In 2002 it developed a capacity building program to empower local social welfare teams, thus
allowing for its sound methodology to reach children in jeopardy all over Brazil. Also
recognizing that it is public policy which makes advancements irreversible, Terra dos Homens
have designed and implemented an effective advocacy programme.
Ethiopia
Forum for Sustainable Child Empowerment (FSCE)
FSCE is an indigenous non profit NGO established in 1989 by a group of social development
professionals who used to work in child-focused organizations. Its establishment was a
response to the increased number of orphaned and abandoned children in Addis Ababa caused
by the drought and famine of 1984/85. FSCE’s vision is to see the wellbeing and protection
needs of children fulfilled. Currently, FSCE is implementing programs in five cities: Adama,
Dessie, Bahir Dar, Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa in partnership with various governmental and
nongovernmental organizations and through an active involvement of target communities
including children.
Guyana
ChildLinK Inc.
ChildLinK Inc. is a local NGO whose mandate is to give orphans and vulnerable children who
are or risk being separated from their families or community a safe and secure future.
ChildLinK’s vision is a Guyanese society where every child has the right to grow up in a safe
and secure family and community. ChildLinK uses a children’s rights-based approach to
achieve positive changes in the lives of vulnerable children in the short term and to contribute to
the long term development of Guyana’s child protection system and transformation of society’s
knowledge, attitudes and behaviours with regard to children’s rights to protection from abuse,
exploitation and violence. ChildLinK programmes have provided counselling and capacity
building directly to children, parents and caregivers, community groups and service providers.
The programmes have also facilitated the development of child protection policies, procedures
and tools for use by governmental and non-governmental organisations in Guyana.
Mexico
Junto con las niñas y los niños / Together with boys and girls (JUCONI)
Juconi works in Mexico and Ecuador tackling the social exclusion of children and families from
poor and violent homes. Juconi’s unique psycho-social intervention achieves permanent
positive change that creates productive families that are free of violence and street involvement.
This eco-systemic intervention focuses on helping all family members recover from the damage
caused by violent relationships, providing children with strengthened families, opportunities for
academic achievement, economic opportunities for older children as well as positive
relationships with society. Juconi´s educational-therapeutic approach is shared nationally and
internationally with other CSOs and government programmes through their Technical Support
Centre which offers a range of training and consultancy services as well as on-line services.
South Africa
Children in Distress Network (CINDI)
CINDI was founded in July 1996, as a multi-sectoral network of over 300 civil society and
government agencies (NGOs, CBOs, FBOs, local and regional government departments)
capable of implementing diverse effective and sustainable programmes for children affected by
HIV/AIDS in the province of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). CINDI's mission is to sustain a dynamic,
well resourced network in KZN with the aim of enhancing the services and response to children.
United Kingdom
EveryChild UK
EveryChild is an international development organisation working in 15 countries to ensure that
girls and boys enjoy the right to a childhood in a safe, permanent and caring environment, free
from poverty, violence and exploitation. We do this by promoting the supporting effective
interventions that protect children outside of parental care (or at risk of losing parental care) and
ultimately reduce the number of girls and boys who live apart from their parents or without
appropriate alternative care. Our understanding evolves through evaluating our experience and
learning from others and therefore, EveryChild believes in building and/or strengthening
partnerships and alliances to achieve greater and long-lasting impact. Our understanding is
also strongly influenced by our organisational values (e.g. participation, inclusivity,
sustainability, innovation and accountability to all our stakeholders).
