Objectives: help children, reduce poverty and raise awareness

The objectives are to:

• Offer personal, small-scale, direct support to children with disabilities in developing countries through local contacts (mediators);
• Strengthen the capacity of the Partner Organisations and the National Coordination Teams, in order to improve the rehabilitation services, advocate children’s rights in their countries and, ultimately, enable the children to become equal citizens in their communities;
• Reduce poverty in developing countries;
• Raise awareness both in and outside The Netherlands about the specific problems of developing countries and in particular about the consequences for children and youngsters with disabilities in those countries.
