Vision

A future where every child in Ethiopia is safe, protected from harmful migration and exploitation, and empowered through education and sustainable opportunities to reach their full potential.

Mission

Preventing harmful child migration, ensuring equitable access to quality education, strengthening child protection systems, rehabilitating at-risk children, and empowering families with sustainable livelihoods.

A national call to action. Every day, school-age children across Southern Ethiopia, Central Ethiopia, Sidama and beyond abandon education β€” not by choice, but by circumstance β€” and migrate to cities, often as early as age six.
