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.

Earlier today, the GNRC Coordinator in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), Ms. Silvia Mazzarelli, moderated the Regional Focus on the Americas during the #FaithActionForum in Rome, Italy. LAC had the opportunity to highlight the challenges which children on the move face in the region and what faith actors could and should do to address the issue. The regional leaders also presented the Alliance for the Protection of Children in El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico as an example of efforts by faith based organizations to address the problem in the northern triangle and México.

As we mark the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, let us recall the fundamental duty of every human being in ending child poverty. The world can realize a world free of child poverty if we rally our efforts together towards peace and sustainable development. Children must play a role in the global development agenda by encouraging communities to listen to children and work side-by-side with children to address child poverty and its drivers.

Faith leaders and institutions can take advantage of their position and shape the community global actions and policies to End Child Poverty.

Happening now;
The #FaithActionForum to address the needs of #ChildrenontheMove and their families. Our very own Mustafa Y Ali along with other International Organising Committee members, are privileged to welcome participants to the Forum.

Faith leaders and institutions represent a safe haven for many and are often the first place a migrant will seek refuge. Across different faith backgrounds exists the call to welcome the stranger in our midst and protect children. This call compels us to come together and respond.

We are called to act with urgency. We are committed to collaborating around the world in a variety of contexts where children are highly affected by violence, migration, displacement and trafficking to identify the most pressing issues, solutions, and develop a common agenda.
