About Us & Contact Us

Our Mission

Children for Health promotes child-focused health education around the world. We use many channels to work with projects, programmes and people. All our partners want the same thing – to involve and support children as ambassadors and communicators of essential health messages with their friends and in their families and communities. This is based on two key insights:

  1. That children in many communities, in most countries in the world, play a vital role looking after their siblings and friends, often without adult presence or supervision; and
  2. That providing health information to these children in a relevant, fun and compelling way delivers immediate and lasting benefits in disease prevention and treatment in their communities.

Alongside our partners, Children for Health researches, develops, promotes and distributes health education materials for children and their educators; these are free-of-charge, child-friendly and distributed effectively and efficiently through multiple channels: print, website, video, radio, text and mobile.

Our Logo

Our Logo symbolises a child’s active and positive engagement and connection with a global communication network. The child is in a position of strength, with the means of communication in their hands, reaching out to acquire the knowledge they need for themself and to share with others in order to live a healthy life.
