Child to Child is a pioneer of children’s participation. For nearly 40 years we’ve partnered with and trained the world’s leading agencies to equip children with the skills to stay safe, stay healthy and achieve their potential, no matter what life throws at them.
In 2018, CtC of the Americas helped train educational and community leaders in Ecuador to engage children as partners for better health. The workshop featured the special “Educational Knapsack” developed in 2016, drawing upon indigenous stories to teach children about anti-microbial resistance.
Development Officer Jetske van Dijk writes about her first field visit to Kisumu, Kenya, where CtC is working with Blue Cross to deliver a life skills programme focused on combating substance misuse.
After 8 years of incredible work, Tricia Young has decided to resign as Director of Child to Child. We would like to wish her well on her new journey. Tricia is leaving Child to Child in the capable hands of Teresa Sguazzin, who will be taking over as Interim-Director.
On 15 June 2018 Gerison Lansdown received an honourary doctorate from Carleton University “in recognition of extraordinary leadership in advocating for children’s rights.” In her inspiring convocation speech she drew upon the example of Pikin to Pikin Tok to illustrate how participation enables access to a range of rights, including protection.
