100% for the children works where no one else does
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.
The problem we want to solve: Empowerment starts with the right to decide. Children and youth living in poor, vulnerable, or marginalized communities in Kenya, Ghana and Malawi lack adequate resources and face systemic discrimination. Climate change counteracts any positive development in these marginalized communities.
The goal we want to achieve: 100% for the Children is committed to breaking the cycle of poverty and discrimination, ensuring every child and young person we work with has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their circumstances.
Whom we do it for: We work with the particularly vulnerable in this world. That is children and youth 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
