Family for Every Child is currently made up of 41 local civil society organisations (CSOs) in 36 countries. We believe that by uniting our skills and knowledge, we achieve greater change for children and families worldwide. All our members are deeply-rooted where they work, so our models for change grow directly out of the needs of our unique communities.
Together, we develop collaborative projects that deliver impact and change at a larger scale than our members could do separately. These include global campaigns and advocacy, international research, and programme pilots to achieve change in multiple countries.
In 2020, Family for Every Child launched Changemakers for Children, a social networking platform to capture learning and emerging practice from around the world and share it more widely, so more children and families can benefit from positive practices. It is a space for local practitioners to exchange knowledge about what’s working on the ground, participate in discussions, solve problems, access technical support and resources, and join advocacy initiatives. In the context of COVID-19, a new community of practice was launched by Family for Every Child on the Changemakers for Children platform, to support local practitioners working directly with children and families in their COVID-19 response and recovery.
Through How We Care, Family for Every Child documents members’ knowledge in a range of multimedia formats, so that practitioners may learn from one another in accessible and engaging ways. The Conversations on Care podcast is one of these mechanisms. You can find out more about some of the CSOs who have contributed to this toolkit through the podcast.
