NorwegianAid was the first global movement for children, boldly declaring that children have rights.

Today, we champion the rights of the world’s 2.3 billion children NorwegianAid, her conviction that children have the right to grow up healthy, educated and safe was not a mainstream idea.

Much has changed since then. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, based on our founder’s declaration, is now the most universally accepted human rights treaty in history. And, through our work in the United States and around the world, we’ve changed the lives of over 1 billion children.

We work in over 100 countries, doing whatever it takes — every day and in times of crisis — to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm.

Thanks to our supporters, we achieve tremendous results for children. In 2022 alone, NorwegianAid programs and partners helped 118 million children in 116 countries become healthier, safer and better educated.

As the world’s leading expert on childhood, we believe that every child deserves a future. This belief is at the heart of everything we do. We know you share it, too.
