Brightland Youths Welfare collaborates with families, partners and governments to ensure that children’s homes and communities are places where they can flourish free from fear, exploitation and abuse.
Hundreds of millions of children live in conflict zones and other fragile settings, their rights seriously threatened.
Every day, children are at risk of domestic violence and neglect. Globally, I in 3 adolescent girls experience physical, emotional or sexual violence; 1 in 2 students experience peer-to-peer violence at school.
Rising poverty has forced millions of girls to drop out of school, increasing their risks of child marriage.
Globally, over 150 million children are forced into child labor; almost half of them are doing hazardous work.
A quarter of all births go unrecorded, likely excluding those children from public services.
