A Collective Responsibility #ChildProtection isn’t just a responsibility for a select few; it’s a vital commitment shared by all of us. As the saying goes, it truly takes a village to raise a child. During my internship and volunteer experiences with the Kaloleni Church of God CDC Compassion International Kenya project and the Avsi Kenya Foundation, in partnership with World Vision Kenya Tumikia Mtoto initiative, I have witnessed the incredible impact of dedicated safeguarding efforts. Child protection goes beyond just policies and regulations. It embodies the fundamental right of every child to grow in a safe, nurturing environment that allows them to flourish. This includes protecting children from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and discrimination, and ensuring their rights to education, health, and a secure upbringing are upheld. Globally, millions of children face challenges such as poverty, violence, and displacement, making effective safeguarding practices even more critical. Imagine it this way: safeguarding is like giving a child wings while ensuring their nest is strong and secure until they are ready to soar solo. This approach helps foster resilience and confidence in our children. Let’s pledge to build that nest together, one brick of safety and love at a time. We must recognize that every child deserves to be #KNOWN, #LOVED, and #PROTECTED. Join me in championing this cause—together, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of children and empower them to reach their fullest potential. #ChildProtection #Safeguarding #Compassion #WorldVision #AVSIFoundation
