CHILDHOPE (UK) 

ChildHope believes that children should enjoy a safe and secure childhood but for those growing up in the toughest circumstances these rights are denied. Born into extreme poverty and violence, they have no protection. Our work supports children who are considered the hardest to reach. These children may live and work on the street, be at risk of trafficking or child marriage, or victims of abuse.
