Across the GNRC, members share a set of common priorities in their work for children at different levels — local, national, sub-regional, regional, continental and global. Our initiatives and programs make the most of Arigatou International’s Ethics Education, Prayer and Action, and End Child Poverty initiatives, and are often designed to address more than one of these key themes: empowering children and young people, providing peace education, ending violence against children, combatting child poverty, promoting child rights, countering violent extremism, and protecting the natural environment.

GNRC members come from all of the world’s major religions and many other spiritual traditions. We welcome partnerships with all who share a commitment to making the world a place where every child can enjoy not only the right to survive, but also to thrive. Together, we strive to empower children and young people to make positive contributions of their own to a world of peace and dignity for all. We believe both prayer and action are essential to realizing this vision, and seek to practice both, as individuals and in communities, in all of our work for and with children.
