Mission Statement
Too many of the world's children suffer the debilitating effects of poverty and violence.
Children have the right to experience life with as much joy and hope as possible. Christian Children's Fund creates
an environment of hope and respect for children in need in which they have opportunities to achieve their full potential,
and provides children, families and communities with practical tools for positive change.
CCF Beliefs
At CCF, we believe:
* all children deserve an environment of hope, respect and understanding;
* that poverty is a personal experience for every child and this insight and sensitivity guides all of our actions;
* it takes a global perspective and collaborative effort in order to substantially impact the issues of poverty that
are facing children today;
* we must work together to create an environment of understanding towards all children embracing cultural and religious
differences;
* that all of our actions must be guided by the utmost integrity and transparency;
* that we are accountable for all funds we receive, and we will always be upfront and honest with our donors and stakeholders
and use these funds in the most efficient and productive manner.
Code of Ethics
We pledge to deal fairly, equitably, openly and honestly with:
Children: by giving the highest priority in all decisions to the well-being of each individual child in a constructive
family and community context; by fostering his or her growth as a contributing member of society; by promoting the childs
self-respect and human rights, and by internationally promoting social and economic development consistent with these goals.
Parents: by ensuring that they fully understand their parental rights and obligation to assume responsibility for
their role in CCF activities so that they and their children can realize their full potential as the primary force in determining
their own destiny.
Donors: by standing fully behind the accuracy of information sent to donors from the field about the needs of each
individual child and his or her family, and by responding to the sponsors inquiries promptly, honestly, and as fully as possible,
in keeping with the highest standards of respect for the rights and sensitivity of all parties concerned.
Employees: by clearly explaining their duties and the organizations responsibilities and obligations to the child
and the sponsor; by dealing with each employee on the merits of individual performance as it relates to the overall conduct
of the organizations business, and establishing a cooperative, safe and satisfying work environment.
Governments: by complying with applicable legislation and regulations; by cooperatively advocating for the Rights
of Children and by assisting in the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (adopted by the General Assembly
of the United Nations on November 20,1989).
