At Children Believe — together with families, communities, coalitions, businesses and governments — we help kids break barriers holding them back from accessing education and realizing their dreams. 

“We are working with Children Believe, establishing schools, building schools, extending school facilities, also providing educational materials like library books,” explains Yasabu Berkneh, the director general of school improvement with the government of Ethiopia.

Meanwhile, our four strategic pathways to change make all this possible: we support thriving communities, advance child rights and protection, promote equality for girls as well as partner with children for change.

Sponsor a child today and join us in helping more kids access education and reach their dreams.
