Defence for Children International (DCI) is a leading child rights-focused and membership-based grassroots movement founded in 1979. Our vision: children, as human beings, are able to pursue a life in which they can enjoy their human rights with dignity, in a just and responsible society. In all we do, we work in a transparent, accountable, sustainable and socially transformative way. With your donation, we can keep up protecting and advocating for children's rights worldwide.
With your contribution, you will be joining a handful of individuals and organisations who have put their trust in our vision, approach and expertise.
We take accountability very seriously and ensure that we make the most effective and efficient use of your financial support. In 2016, 81% of our funds went directly to the beneficiaries of our programmes, while the other 19% were used on programme support and administration.
Currently, our generous supporters include the Rockdale, USA, Fund for Global Human Rights, Irish Aid, UNICEF Sierra Leone, DCI/ECPAT Netherlands, Legal Empowerment Fund (LEF) of the Fund for Global Human Rights (FGHR), USA, COMIC Relief UK through Equality Now, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands
