About This Project

Why we are building a global directory of child rights organisations.

The Challenge

Donors who want to fund locally led child welfare work often struggle to find and trust organisations on the ground. Without a reliable way to identify vetted, legitimate civil society organisations, funding tends to flow through large intermediaries rather than directly to the communities closest to the children who need support.

What We Are Building

Family for Every Child is developing an online database that connects donors directly with vetted local child rights organisations. The platform will improve transparency and trust, making it easier for funders to identify credible organisations and deliver locally led funding for child welfare.

The database is maintained and curated by Family for Every Child, drawing on our network of alliance members spanning over 40 countries. Every organisation listed on the platform goes through a verification and vetting process to ensure data accuracy, legitimacy, and compliance with safeguarding standards.
