100% for the Children works with the particularly vulnerable.
The organization was founded in 2008 by the chaos pilot and moving spirit Signe Møller. The year before she came to Mombasa, where she met children and families at the Kibarani landfill.
The approximately 3,000 families living in the area lived on top of the waste, under poor sanitary conditions. No NGO would act at the time. But Signe would. The meeting with the families inspired her to make a difference and that is why she started the organization.
Over the years, we have learned that empowerment begins with the right to decide. Children and young people living in poor, vulnerable, or marginalized communities in Kenya, Ghana, and Malawi lack adequate resources and face systemic discrimination. They lack choices. Meanwhile, climate change hinders any positive development in marginalized communities.
This is why 100% for the Children is committed to breaking cycles of poverty and discrimination, ensuring that the children and young people we work with have the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their circumstances.
We work with the particularly vulnerable. This includes children and young people from poor and marginalized families, children with disabilities, children from rural areas, and teenage girls who become pregnant.
Our solutions: Sustainable development is best achieved when people themselves are empowered to drive change. We join forces with local organizations to form alliances on joint advocacy, sharing of knowledge, and a readiness to take action.
We decide on our methods according to:
- Biggest impact
- Inclusive & contextual approach
- Transparency
