About us
Cooperation for Children is dedicated to giving every child a fair chance through education, local action, and long-term international support. From Geneva to the field, we builds bridges between local communities and global support to advance children’s rights.
Cooperation for Children is a Geneva-based non-profit organization committed to promoting and protecting the rights of children around the world. Founded in accordance with the Swiss Civil Code, our association is politically neutral, non-religious, and dedicated to long-term impact through collaboration and advocacy.
At our core, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive in a safe and supportive environment. That’s why we work tirelessly to:
Encourage partnerships that advance children’s rights,
Facilitate national and international cooperation on child-focused projects
Support aligned initiatives and external programs,
Raise funds in Switzerland to benefit the Kids & Teens Resource Center in Nigeria,
Oversee projects that directly contribute to our mission.
What sets us apart is our commitment to developing all projects based on needs identified directly in the field.
Our initiatives are not imported or top-down, but rather co-created with local actors, ensuring cultural relevance, sustainability, and real impact. Before any project begins, our team works closely with grassroots partners to understand the specific challenges faced by children in their communities. This bottom-up approach guarantees that our actions respond to real priorities—not assumptions.
By empowering local leadership and listening first, we ensure that each program is rooted in local realities, while benefiting from the strategic support, resources, and visibility we can provide internationally. This model helps us create solutions that last, because they belong first and foremost to the communities we serve.
We operate with full transparency and without the pursuit of profit. Every donation, partnership, and activity directly supports our non-profit goals and the well-being of children.
Our leadership is composed of dedicated volunteers who manage the organization’s activities and strategic direction. While our General Assembly shapes the association’s future, our committee ensures that everyday operations are aligned with our mission and values.
Whether you’re a passionate advocate, a potential partner, or a supporter who believes in the power of cooperation, we welcome you to join us in building a world where every child can flourish.
