FREE THE CHILDREN

It is an influential international children's movement with young people all over the world speaking out and taking action to improve the lives of children.

Free the Children is an international network of children helping children through representation, leadership and action.

Free the Children has two main purposes

» To free children from poverty, exploitation and abuse.
» To give children a voice, leadership training, and opportunities to take action on issues which affect them from a local to an international level.

Free the Children is dedicated to eliminating the exploitation of children around the world, by encouraging youth to volunteer in, as well as to create programs and activities that relieve the plight of underprivileged children.

Free the Children believes that all children have the right to full intellectual, physical, emotional and social development. Included in these basic human rights are the right and the responsibility to participate in finding solutions to problems affecting them and other children around the world.

About Free the Children

» Free the Children is a registered non profit charitable children’s organization existing in more than 35 countries around the world and growing every day
» Only children under the age of 18 within the organization vote on decisions regarding policy and projects or act as spokespersons for children or for the organization.
» Youth 18 and over act as mentors or chaperones and help with administration and leadership development.
» Most of the work of Free the Children takes place on a local level among children who have formed groups in their schools, neighbourhoods, religious centres, communities, or among their friends. Children make decisions regarding projects they undertake and organize the actions themselves.
» Other children’s groups run by children with similar goals are also welcome under the umbrella of Free the Children.
» Children are linked through national teams and an international secretariat.
» A children’s Board of Directors makes decisions regarding the policy and direction of the movement.
» The Adult Board of Directors includes a lawyer and an accountant who handle legal contracts for projects, government reports and finances.
