DonateChild Protection Policy
Our commitment to safeguarding children and youth
A Chance In Life is a proud member of Keeping Children Safe. We are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of child protection. We expect the same commitment from all individuals involved in our organization, including board members, staff, partners organizations, volunteers, interns, and program visitors.
Children and youth, though inherently resourceful and resilient, are particularly vulnerable to abuse due to their dependence on adults, stage of development, and lack of power. We firmly believe that every child, regardless of their nationality, race, religion, or socioeconomic status, deserves to be safe from all forms of violence, abuse, and maltreatment.
Guided by respect for local laws and customs, we follow established reporting and response procedures in collaboration with our international partners to ensure the safety and well-being of children and youth in diverse contexts.
