Description

Viva's work is focused around seven main solution strategies:

  1. 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. 
  2. Keeping children safe  They protect children in Central America from violent, abusive situations in their homes and on the streets and advocate for change. 
  3. 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. 
  4. 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. 
  5. Unlocking the potential of girls  They train and support churches in India to challenge gender discrimination, report abuse and raise girls’ self-esteem.
  6. 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. 
  7. 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.
