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.

We believe in the power of interfaith cooperation to transform the world. We grieve the fact that half of the world’s children endure physical, psychological or sexual violence. It is unacceptable that every five minutes, a child somewhere is killed in a violent act. We must prevent and ultimately end violence against children.

By building effective broad-based interreligious partnerships, as well as partnerships between religious and secular stakeholders, we can end violence against children through implementing the commitments reached during the GNRC 5th Forum and UN SDG actions.

"The recent sudden increase of incidences of violent extremism has created anxiety among the peacebuilding communities in the Eastern Africa region. More so, the tension that accompany recurrent incidences of violent extremism where religion is misused to justify such attacks, is worrisome. Ethnic division have also led to violent extremism. Building Community Resilience Against Violent Extremism through faith-based and professional approaches is perhaps one of the many ways to address the rising scourge. We must empower our communities with the ability to prevent, address and counter violent extremism." – The Goldin Institute

Understanding, preventing and countering violent extremism is difficult, often frustrating, and hard to measure their impact. These challenges are likely to be with us in the foreseeable future. It may escalate, become more intractable or much more difficult to address. It all depends on the choices we make today. – Global Network of Religions for Children (GNRC)

In East Africa, Global Network of Religions for Children (GNRC) through its implementing partner, Brave Program, builds resilience of youth and children by equipping them with knowledge and skills to be able to generate and sustain informed public debate and dialogue that denies space for radicalization into violent extremism and terrorism.

The children and youth trained in these peace-building workshops are expected to train their peers.
