Raising their voices: Children speak on parenting, teamwork and accountability

July 4, 2023

What do children really think about parenting without violence, teamwork and having a voice in decisions that affect them?

In this video, children involved in the Joining Forces for Africa (JOFA) project share how they have been supported through models like Parenting Without Violence, Team Up and Child-Friendly Accountability.

You will hear from Hanan, who has learned the importance of cooperation between children and adults. Abigail, who now listens more to her parents. Judith, who values her time playing with friends. Pius, who believes that teamwork makes the dream work. Santa, who advocates for children by listening to their concerns and helping find solutions and John, who shares that many children are now speaking out on serious issues like torture and defilement. These are their voices. Take a listen.

In 2024, ChildFund Uganda allocated 83% of its total operating expenses to programs supporting vulnerable children, families, and communities.
