Significant events
- “The successful integration of Chance for Childhood and Hope for Children into one merged organisation.”
- “Our selection as implementing partner for the RISE inclusive education project in Rwanda, endorsed by the government and Ministry of Education of Rwanda and supported by the Scottish Government, securing £2.3m over five years.”
- “The scaling up of our innovative Disability Detect app, which has identified the learning needs of 18,619 children to date.”
- “In May 2024, intense rainfall caused floods that destroyed homes, schools and farms in several regions of Kenya. Hundreds of children's lives were impacted... Chance for Childhood quickly launched an emergency appeal in June 2024 to raise funds... to help reconstruct the girls' toilets.”
- “When fighting between the government and M23 rebels erupted in early 2025, the number of out-of-school children identified in our project areas rose from 1,200 to 1,950. In response, we launched an emergency appeal in February 2025, raising $14,900 (c. £12,000).”
