Description
Viva's work is focused around seven main solution strategies:
- Transforming children through education They help children to catch up on their schooling and equip them for the future. In Uganda they re-educate marginalised girls, train teachers and engage community mentors to develop parenting skills.
- Keeping children safe They protect children in Central America from violent, abusive situations in their homes and on the streets and advocate for change.
- Making child trafficking history They provide homework clubs, assist women’s businesses and spread the anti-exploitation message – all to make children and parents in Asia less vulnerable to trafficking recruiters.
- Resettling children into families They resettle abandoned children in Uganda into loving families, and provide these families with counseling, income-generating advice and practical support.
- Unlocking the potential of girls They train and support churches in India to challenge gender discrimination, report abuse and raise girls’ self-esteem.
- Protecting children in emergencies They give practical relief and psychosocial support for families following disaster and conflict, train community leaders and set up child-friendly spaces.
- Helping young people thrive They catalyse a collaborative response from local churches and other providers in Oxford, UK to the complex needs of young people in order to increase their self-esteem and resilience.
