Hello John

This month we focus on participation for the improvement of children’s rights in the new decade! A key ethical principle at Humanium, participation is more important now than ever so that we act in unison to see the rights of children fulfilled.

To this end, Humanium went to Rwanda once again in November 2019 and, along with our partner AVSI, successfully delivered workshops on child rights to over 350 people!

Our co-founder, Arndt Soret, then attended Rwanda’s UN review this January and heard expert recommendations on child rights improvements.

Humanium is also proud to be part of a brand new NGO Working Group on Child Rights and the Environment striving to protect our planet and generations of the future. This initiative will nurture inter-organisational participation in order to expand our network working to fulfil child rights on the global stage.

P.S. We cannot, however, do any of this without YOUR participation. Every individual has an important role to play, and we hope you will choose to support us and further our journey towards making children’s rights a reality ([link removed][UNIQID]) .

2019 – A Year in Children’s Rights

Look into any dictionary and you will probably find the same definition of what children’s rights are (should be): the rights of children to have access to health, education, family life and an adequate standard of living, and never have to fear hunger, abuse, harm, neglect, or any other inhumane conditions (UNICEF, 2011).
We don’t even have to reach the end of this sentence to know that unfortunately this in many countries and situations is not the case today. Those among us who are the most vulnerable [...]

Back to the essentials in yourself

Today we are over the moon. Yes, Humanium celebrates its 11th birthday, yes and we celebrate together with today’s 30th birthday of the Child Rights Convention and yes, even louder than before we say: Back to the essentials.
Why? Here it is: Each one of us is only a human, a human that suffers, a human that enjoys pleasures. Each one of us humans has her/his (hereafter “her”) needs, her challenges, her wishes [...]

Humanium at Rwanda’s UN Child Rights Review

Humanium attended the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child’s (CRC) 84th session this January 2020, where we sat in on the review of the state of Rwanda. Humanium’s co-founder and CEO Arndt Soret was back in Rwanda again just a few months ago in November 2019 delivering Humanium’s Child Rights Workshops to 377 people. So with child rights in Rwanda particularly close to our hearts at Humanium, Arndt decided to go in person to the UN’s Palais de Justice in Geneva and listen to the review of Rwanda [...]

"The new decade has begun, and Humanium persists in its relentless efforts to make the world a better place for all children. Whether rich or poor, climate change concerns us all. Underprivileged children are hit hardest by the climate crisis, and so we intensify our efforts to provide first-hand support to our girls and boys in India, and will improve two additional boarding schools. In Rwanda, we will ensure our children benefit from a higher quality education. We’ll see that children are empowered to live happily, and to face their futures with preparation, resilience and aspiration. Following German schools’ requests for Child Rights development, we will also launch coaching workshops for other NGOs, enabling them to sensitize everyone - no matter where in the world - on child rights, so that every single child may thrive!"
