Article 15 Foundation

Article 15 Foundation is committed to aiding working children lead their own development through access to basic education, income generating activities and the defense of their rights.

Our Vision and Mission

We have a vision of a world where children will be recognized as active citizens and participate to all decisions affecting their lives. When abused or trapped in poverty, they will form their own movements to stand in solidarity and better defend their rights. 

We recognize that poverty compels many children to work to support themselves and their families. We passionately believe that this should not stand in the way of their education and the fulfillment of their rights.

By focusing on the priority areas defined by the children themselves, Article 15 Foundation maintains their agenda rather than prescribing one from an adult's perspective.
