01-01-2008 | As of 1 January 2008, AKD Prinsen Van Wijmen has added its weight to KidsRights by joining the organisation’s list of founders. KidsRights exists to defend children’s rights and runs projects aimed stimulating kids to focus on their future.
About KidsRights
In less than four years, KidsRights has established a strong
foundation within the world of charities. The organisation works
together with a worldwide network of local and international
partner organisations ranging from small projects in Africa through
to the UN's International Labour Organisation. Via the media,
KidsRights speaks out on behalf of children who otherwise have no
voice. The international Children's Peace Prize provides a unique
podium for children who have made a special contribution to
promoting kid's rights and highlighted the problems of children at
risk.
Why KidsRights?
AKD Prinsen Van Wijmen is convinced of the importance of
playing a role within society and investing in the wellbeing of
others. We decided to support a young, dynamic and exciting
organisation which stands up for the rights of the child and one
for which transparency is a high priority. KidsRights offers a
unique 100% guarantee that every donation goes directly to a
selected childrens project, after its costs have been covered. This
gives the organisation a direct line into projects worldwide, which
also increases the level of AKD Prinsen Van Wijmen's engagement as
a founder and active observer.
