Locally Led Development
ChildFund works with 170 local organizations, leaders and families to design and deliver solutions that reflect community priorities and strengthen the systems that support children.
ChildFund's Strategy: Growing Connections
Local by design. Powered by community. Proven by results.
Delivering Lasting Impact for Children
Children are growing up in a world shaped by conflict, rising heat and rapid technological change. ChildFund's strategy delivers lasting impact for children by strengthening the systems that support them, advancing locally led solutions and preparing children and young people to thrive.
Our Goal
By 2030, ChildFund will help achieve lasting impact for 100 million children and families annually — so children grow up healthy, educated, skilled and safe in systems that sustain change.
The Changing World and ChildFund’s Response
Conflict and displacement are disrupting children's safety, health and education. Rising heat is increasing pressures on families and communities, threatening livelihoods and creating new risks for children's well-being. Digital transformation is reshaping economies — creating opportunity while also introducing new risks, particularly for children online.
ChildFund's strategy responds by investing in the conditions that allow children, families and communities to thrive over the long term. These investments include:
Digital equity and safety — helping children safely access the opportunities of a connected world.
Children affected by crisis, conflict and displacement — strengthening support for children and families facing disruption and uncertainty.
Climate and health — addressing the growing impact of climate change on children's well-being and futures.
How We Deliver
ChildFund delivers lasting impact through three complementary approaches that define how we work.
Policy, Advocacy & Youth Voice
ChildFund works with partners and young people at local, national and global levels to influence policies, strengthen systems and expand opportunities for children and young people.
