We are committed to ensuring the rights of all children. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the UN Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children, and international frameworks such as the Sustainable Development Goals, are the foundations of our programme and advocacy work.
Every day we all work for the protection and development of children in a family environment. Through advocacy at County, National, Regional and International Level, we sensitize decision-makers to the rights and needs of children, to bring changes in policies and practices that will make a positive and lasting difference to their lives. We also support children and young people to participate in making decisions that affect them, so that their voice is heard and they can be active architects of their future.
At JOHN GARANG HUMANITARIAN GROUP FOUNDATION under the advocacy programme we take action to improve policies and practices that undermine the wellbeing of children at risk of losing parental care or who have lost parental care.The advocacy programme intends to address issues of advocating for the rights of the child in and out of our Children’s Vilages. This is inclusive of a childs to quality care as well as ensuring quality treatment for all children under alternative care. Our approach to advocacy is by advocacy for those affected, with those affected and by those affected. By advocacy at JOHN GARANG HUMANITERIAN GROUP FOUNDATION we intend to develop capacity of advocacy networks to conduct advocacy efforts. To implement childs rights according to national legislation and policy and activities and to build advocacy capacity of stakeholder groups and communities.
