CALL FOR FUNDRAISERS

The East Africa Child Rights Network (The EACR) is a network of community grassroots organizations that work with children in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. The network was started in early 2014 and registered as a Trust (Registration Number 2487) in September 2015, in the Republic of Kenya. EACR later transitioned to a national NGO under the regulatory authority of Kenya Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) Coordination Board, and the NGO Act 1990, on 16th October 2023, NGO Registration Number OP.218/015/23-442/13327. The network currently brings together 27 active grassroots organizations spread across the 3 countries. EACR is founded on the realization that numerous child-leaning local organizations face numerous challenges including; lack of capacity, limited resources and networks and general difficulty showcasing their good work and efforts.
EACR's mission is to ensure that Africa’s children grow to realize their dreams and ambitions in life. This is driven by a vision seeking to see a world that respects and listens to children; and allows them to grow in health and dignity.
