100% for the Children aims to strengthen family and community systems to safeguard children’s rights and wellbeing, and to develop effective child protection mechanisms.
100% for the Children aims to improve access to healthcare and sexual and reproductive health education, targeting street children, young mothers, and marginalized youth, including those with disabilities.
100% for the Children aims to enhance educational access and quality while promoting gender equality and reducing barriers such as teen pregnancies, early/forced marriages and high dropout rates.
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.
Today, we continue to work with the most vulnerable to help break the vicious cycles of poverty and discrimination. Every child deserves to thrive – regardless of their background or life circumstances.
Over the years, we have learned that empowerment begins with the right to choose. But for many children and young people living in poor, vulnerable, or marginalized communities in Kenya, Ukraine, Ghana, and Malawi, options are severely limited. They face not only a lack of resources but also systemic inequality, conflict, and the effects of climate change – all of which worsen their living condition.
Our work is focused particularly on urban slum areas – some of the most challenging environments for a child to grow up in. Rapid urbanization in Africa and elsewhere is expected to push millions more into these areas in the coming years, often as a direct consequence of climate and environmental crises.
OUR
WORK
We experience that children and young people can actively shape a future full of opportunities—when given the right support.
ABOUT THE
ORGANIZATION
Transparency is at the core of 100% for the Children’s work and communication. Our teams in Denmark and Kenya are always accessible.
INNOVATION IN PRACTICE
Together with the University of Copenhagen, we bring students closer to global health challenges—from fieldwork in Kenya to innovation on campus. Always with local anchoring and interdisciplinary collaboration.
GIVE A GIFT THAT TRULY MATTERS
When donors cut back on development aid, health efforts in the Global South are hit hard. In the slums, this leaves girls even more on their own - without access to safe menstrual products and basic hygiene.
