CfC was established in the UK in 1992. We have been working in Rwanda since 2009 and officially registered there as an INGO in 2017. Chance for Childhood (CfC) is an award winning charity working in Africa to support the most vulnerable children. Our vision is of a world where no child is forgotten. We work with African visionary community-based organisations to implement effective, locally relevant projects. Our unique approach of analyzing intersectional barriers enables us to reach the most marginalised children and communities, both in terms of complex needs (e.g. children with disabilities) and location (e.g. remote rural areas, informal settlements). Our work includes the identification/mapping of CwD (especially Children with developmental delay and communication disabilities), Communty level parent engagement and peer support for disability inclusion, and Disability Inclusion in Education : ECD and Transition to Mainstream Education. Chance for Childhood is the only organisation in Rwanda leading on the early detection of young children (<3 years old) at risk of developmental delays or developing a disability.
