State of the World Forum | Whole Child Initiative

"I believe that protecting today’s children – tomorrow’s Mandelas and Mother Theresas – is the moral and common sense litmus test of our humanity in a world where millions of children’s lives are ravaged by the wars, neglect, abuse, and racial, ethnic, religious, and class divisions of adults.”

Marian Wright Edelman

The Whole Child Initiative continues its work to identify, chronicle and support grassroots community-based projects worldwide which are helping children thrive in especially difficult circumstances. Its mission is to build a learning community based on recent findings in early childhood development combined with traditional approaches that are achieving extraordinary results at the village and community level.
