At Childreach International we believe strongly in educating the younger generations on the social issues faced by the developing world; inspiring and informing them so that they can help make changes in the future. Many of the young adults that fundraise for us go on to become Childreach International volunteers or look for employment within the third sector.

Universities

We work with over 20 Universities across the UK and Ireland. Through our challenge events programme we provide young adults with a cross cultural learning experience at the same time as offering an  opportunity to achieve a once in a lifetime goal such as climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. We operate a strict ethical travel policy and participate in an active carbon offsetting programme. In 2009, over 600 students took part in our challenge events.

Schools

Our Youth Ambassador programme works with school children from across the country under the age of 17. The programme aims to educate the youths on the struggles faced by less fortunate children and to build their understanding and connection with these children. The pupils learn valuable lessons in teamwork and responsibility, learning that through small actions they can help change the world for tomorrow.
Pupils are encouraged to share what they have learnt with family and friends and fundraise as little as £2 each towards the charity’s work.
Schools are also given the opportunity to partner with a school or vocational training centre overseas as part of a longer term commitment with an opportunity for teachers and pupils over 16 to visit the partner school.
