Arigatou International - All for Children

All for Children sums up our hopes and dreams and the partnerships we seek to build. All that we do, we do for children… and we work at it with all of our heart, because children deserve nothing less. We believe that all people share in a universal calling to care for all the children of our world, so all of the tools and approaches we offer are designed to bring people together—in all their wonderous diversity—to build a better world for children.

"In order to prevent radicalisation & violent extremism, the society must be ready to learn & address the problem. Only by addressing the menace would we reclaim & control positive information asymmetries while at the same time undermining negative information asymmetries that favour violent & militant extremist groups in the world. We must protect our children from exploitation." – Sh. Ramadhan Aula Juma, GNRC Coordinator, Kenya

"By putting children on the frontline, we honor their unique contribution to, and insights about, ending violence. It’s time to turn the focus around and start listening to children with empathy and respect, welcome their wisdom and gifts, and continue to work side-by-side to address violence against them." – Yusuph Masanja, GNRC–Tanzania.

"A religious doctrine fulfills its purpose if and only if it translates into a source of life, harmony, wellbeing, reconciliation and peace. If the doctrines we teach are generating violence, or are contributing to create disparate and unfair societies, then it is time to examine those doctrines, because they are only valid if they contribute to our personal and social life." – Prof. Harold Segura, Regional Director of Church Relations and Christian Identity for Latin America and the Caribbean, World Vision International.

"...Many people say war is inevitable, which is true especially when fighting against oppressive governments and broken ideals. However, bringing children into these fights is unjust. It is every child’s right to be protected and to be excluded from the wars fought by adults. No child should have to go through such torture, irrespective of their ethnicity, religion or race. Violence interrupts a child’s daily life, making it even harder for them to accomplish their dreams."
