Mission

Cabo Verde Children's mission is to:

Improve the nutrition of families and children, including adolescents, through monthly financial commitment, access to basic social services and adequate caring practices.

Strengthen education systems and expand outreach programs to increase access to integrated and effective health, nutrition and childcare in families, communities and schools facilities, including prompt attention to orphan children.

Create awareness to ensure that children with disability have access to quality education on the same basis as other children. Create, with children, a child-friendly learning environment, in which they feel safe, are protected from abuse, violence and discrimination, and are healthy and encouraged to learn.

Strengthen early childhood care and education by providing resources, developing and supporting programs directed to families, legal guardians, caregivers and communities.

Promote innovative projects to provide incentives to low-income families with school-age children to increase the enrolment and attendance of girls and boys and to ensure that they are not obliged to work in a way that interferes with their schooling.

Address the changing role of men in society, as boys, adolescents and fathers, and the challenges faced by boys growing up in today’s world. Further promote the shared responsibility of both parents in education and in the raising of children, and make every effort to ensure that fathers have opportunities to participate in their children’s lives.
