TOPIC: CHILDREN & YOUTH (93)

Global Changemakers

Global Changemakers was founded in 2007 when six young activists, brought together by the British Council, were invited to lend the ‘voice of youth’ to the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum. Since then, the network has grown to a community of over 730 Changemakers in 121 countries world-wide. The mission of the programme is to empower youth to catalyse positive social change. It has expanded since its inception, and is now built on three pillars: Learning, Doing and Advocacy.

The Parent Centre

The Parent Centre is a registered non-profit organisation which has been operating successfully in the challenging South African context for the past 30 years. We provide a range of primary preventive services for parents and caregivers seeking the support and help they need before problems in their parent/caregiver-child relationship or child’s behavior becomes entrenched.

Design for Change

DESIGN FOR CHANGE is the largest global movement designed to give children an opportunity to express their own ideas for a better world and put them into action.
Children and adults learn through the Design for Change Challenge that “I Can” are the two most powerful words a person can believe. Children who have discovered this are changing their world. 

Empower 2 Play

Empower 2 Play is a non-profit organization that seeks to empower under-resourced communities through athletics, life skills development and economic resources for the purposes of improving children's social and economic mobility. Our mission is to identify high achieving students by introducing an unfamiliar sport. We believe that provided the resources and the opportunity, each child has the ability to reach their dreams.

Autism Parenting Magazine

Autism Parenting Magazine is an award-winning publication aimed at improving the quality of life for families effected by autism. We believe in the potential of every child with autism and the magazine has become an essential resource for parents around the world.

Unicef

UNICEF is the driving force that helps build a world where the rights of every child are realized. We have the global authority to influence decision-makers, and the variety of partners at grassroots level to turn the most innovative ideas into reality.  That makes us unique among world organizations, and unique among those working with the young.

Code Club

Code Club is a not-for-profit that believes all children should have the opportunity to learn to code, no matter who they are or where they come from. To do this, Code Club supports a network of volunteer-led, after-school coding clubs, which aim to inspire children aged 9-11 to build and share their ideas, learning along the way. Code Club currently has over 1000 clubs in over 75 countries, and our club projects have been translated in 15 languages.

Child Youth and Family

Each year we make a positive difference to thousands of lives. We work with children, young people and their families everyday to help them find their own solutions, be strong and have hopes for the future.

Tailored for Education

Founded in 2011, Tailored for Education strives to increase school enrollment in developing countries by providing children with school uniforms. For millions of children around the globe, education represents the only way out of a life of entrenched poverty.

Lammily

Lammily is the first fashion doll made according to real female body proportions. The idea is to help children - girls and boys alike - develop a positive and realistic body image from an early age. As well as a normal physique, Lammily wears regular, casual clothes - like denim shorts and sneakers, so children can make their dolls look just like the real women in their lives.

LaLa Lunchbox

LaLa Lunchbox is a fun and easy way for kids to plan and pack lunches with their parents. It empowers your kids, teaches them to make smarter food choices and helps them learn about advance planning.
Your kids get to personalize and design their lunchboxes with fun monsters and colors, and then plan their lunches for a whole week at a time. They simply swipe their choices into their lunchbox from a large selection of fruits, vegetables, proteins, and snacks. Along the way, they learn that a balanced lunch includes items from each category. Parents can easily personalize and edit the items available to their kids.
