GOAL's mission is "to work towards ensuring that the poorest and most vulnerable in our world and those affected by humanitarian crises have access to the fundamental rights of life, including but not limited to adequate shelter, food, water and sanitation, healthcare and education." GOAL’s Children's Empowerment and Protection (CEP) sector focuses on high vulnerability populations of children, often in the most extreme of situations (e.g. street children, child prostitutes and child migrant labourers). These are children who often fall through the cracks of even the most enlightened national policies on children and youth.
