Philanthropy, Trusts & Foundations

Our partnerships with philanthropists, trusts and foundations share a common purpose - to create conditions in which every marginalised child can flourish and thrive no matter where they live and irrespective of the challenging circumstances they face.

By partnering with Children on the Edge, you will also be investing in our network of locally-led partner organisations and award-winning programmes. At every step we work hand-in-hand with local communities to restore hope, dignity, and justice; and actively involve everyone in creating transformation. 

WHY PARTNER WITH CHILDREN ON THE EDGE?

Where children are forced to flee their homes, surviving in warzones, or living in poverty - we work to protect children and provide education. 

Our thirty years of experience, working in exceptionally challenging circumstances, has taught us to be agile in our approach, to listen, and to help design programmes according to specific needs by working hand-in-hand with local communities. 

Most importantly, we know that no one size fits all. We tailor solutions based on the specific needs of each specific situation. This means our work encompasses multiple elements - all ensuring that children can thrive - from nurturing positive parenting early childhood development, creating play and educational opportunities, and presenting an array of community transformation initiatives.

Finally, we stay as long as it takes; until the community feels empowered and equipped to go it alone. 

Our willingness to embrace risk, to move quickly, to be agile, and to keep trying different ways to develop community-based solutions are testaments to the entrepreneurial spirit of both the late Dame Anita Roddick, founder of activist beauty brand, The Body Shop, and our CEO, Rachel Bentley. 

Our vision and mission carry these traits to this day, and we are proud to be supported by a network of philanthropists, trusts and foundations including:
