CHILDHOPE

ChildHope believes every child should enjoy a safe and secure childhood.

We are an international charity based in the UK with significant projects in Africa and Asia supporting children living in some of the poorest communities in the world. In 30 years, we have protected the rights and wellbeing of over 1 million children who are considered the hardest to reach. In many cases we work with groups of children whose numbers and degree of exclusion means they can often be overlooked by larger development programmes and organisations.

To reach these children, we work hand in hand with 17 local NGO partners across 10 countries who have in depth knowledge of the environment and culture and understand the issues. Together, we ensure these children are safe, healthy, educated and can thrive.

It is important to us that we evaluate our work, reflect on our impact and learn from it.

• Before starting a project, we conduct a needs analysis to establish the current situation and help us define what the targets will be.
• We work with our local partners to devise the most effective ways to effectively monitor project impact.
• Throughout a project, we talk to children, families, the wider community, other stakeholders and project staff, to make sure we are heading in the right direction.
• Projects are evaluated by independent experts.

• We have regular multi-partner learning events where we reflect more widely on what is working and use this to improve project design for the future.
• We use the evidence from our projects to influence long-term change that goes beyond our partners and our projects.
