Children on the Edge is a UK-based charity that "returns childhood to forgotten children," through education programs, community strengthening, and support for displaced children. Children on the Edge makes a difference for thousands of marginalised children, who are living on the edge of their societies across the world. Many are without parental care, neglected or persecuted by their own governments, ignored by the international media and missed by large overseas agencies.
