CHANCE FOR CHILDHOOD
International NGO from the United Kingdom
Chance for Childhood is an award-winning charity working in Africa to support the most vulnerable children, often invisible from society, such as street children, disabled children, children affected by conflict and children in conflict with the law. These children are often hidden members of their communities, unable to go to school, excluded from society and living in abject poverty.

Where the money comes from (2025)
Public funds 11% (£193,165) · Other income 89%
Public funds: grants and contracts from government bodies as declared to the Charity Commission. Other income includes donations, legacies, trading and investments. Many organisations record funds from UN agencies and the European Union as income from charitable activities: in that case the public share is underestimated.
