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.
Today, we work in vulnerable and marginalized areas with local partners around the children and young people that no one else wants or can help. Children living and working in landfills. Children living on the streets. Children with disabilities. And children and young people living in marginalized societies.
Children and young people whose voices are rarely heard.
With their voices as an aiming point, we do everything we can to create opportunities and give them the skills they need. We do it with presence, thoroughness, knowledge, and power of action. We do this by collaborating with small local partners and organizations that know the local people and the context best.

The three tracks
EDUCATION
Access to quality education is crucial for children's well-being, development, and prospects. It is through education that children acquire important life skills such as critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving, and it is also here that children develop personality, talents, and abilities. Therefore, we must ensure that all children and young people receive quality education. It includes materials, trained teachers, and suitable surroundings.
CHILD PROTECTION
All children have the right to a life free from violence, exploitation, and abuse. Child protection is about protecting children from these very things by preventing child labor, child marriage, violence against children, female circumcision, gender-based violence, family separation, and sexual exploitation. Violence against children can take many forms – physical, emotional, and sexual – and children must be protected from all forms.
HEALTH
Health is a resource in everyday life that includes physical, mental, and social well-being. Inequalities in health affect marginalized children and young people the most particularly children living in poverty and girls. COVID-19 has worsened the state of sexual and reproductive health and access to basic services. We work to give children and young people knowledge about health and their rights.
