WHO WE ARE
The Children and Youth Foundation is a non-profit social solidarity institution of recognised merit, established in São Tomé and Príncipe since December 2005.
“Small but firm steps towards a better world” is the motto of the paths we are following, always with the primary objective of promoting human rights, equal opportunities, education for citizenship and the protection of minors and young people in need.
We focus on the development of educational, pedagogical, social, cultural, environmental and scientific-technological exchange programmes, always trying to involve the whole community and boost the social promotion of minors and young people who are physically, psychologically and economically deprived.
We also consider it of extreme importance to invest in non-formal education, as a reinforcement of the knowledge acquired at school, and we take great care with the activities occupying free time, through recreational and educational activities, with the aim of opening horizons, exploring potentials, awakening curiosity and interest in several areas, of the children and young people throughout the country, as well as their parents and communities.
Despite the challenges of the work we develop, it is extremely gratifying to see the positive impact and the love with which we are surrounded, in each bright and cheerful smile of our little ones and in the results we see in the Santomean community.
