Children for Health is dedicated to the promotion of health education in developing countries, focused on developing children as agents of change and communicators of essential health messages in their families and communities.
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:
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.
Content – activities – partners – trainers: Children for Health works hand-in-hand with other organisations and programmes. We build capacity. We offer technical advice, mentoring and training. We work to create teaching materials and programme strategy.
At Children for Health we use lots of different ways to reach people, projects and programmes to help them mobilise children as health activists. We aim to give people who are interested practical and simple ways to work with children.
We like to be responsive and work with all those who share our vision. We are learning new ways to reach people all the time.
Children for Health is funded through partnerships, sponsorships and direct donations.
We are a very lean organisation, our small core team has always worked from home so we have very little overhead costs.
90% of all donations are spent on work that has a direct impact on the lives of children in developing countries. Whether this is creating programmes, free materials or going to where the children are to conduct training with educators, government agencies or community leaders.
The Charity Commission has our financial reports available to view online too. We do not fund others to undertake programmes. We are not a donor.
Contact us with any other queries.
Children for Health is made possible by a wonderful group of consultants, volunteers, students and associates all working under Clare Hanbury.
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.
…the child…
…with the power in their hands…
…to communicate with the world…
…to contribute to the health of their community…
…sharing knowledge and saving lives…
