When we dream of a perfect world, it always includes children living out their childhood free from fear, exploitation or abuse.  For a number of reasons children often become the innocent victims of the worst of humanity.  Add to this the fact that those children are defenceless and have a collective voice that is not easily heard, and one has a recipe for horror.

However, what we do hear are the cries of everyday people wanting to make a difference in a child’s life.  We all sense the injustice, feel the compassion and want to be involved, but often simply don’t know how.

Riverview Children’s Foundation exists to make a real difference in these young and desperate lives.  We do this by partnering with best practice organisations that are giving special attention to the most vulnerable children.

Thousands of dedicated people are providing shelter and care for orphans, protection for children who have been abused or trafficked, support for children affected by HIV/AIDS, and education and training for street kids who have had few options other than selling their bodies.

The Foundation’s aim is to support the work of these organisations and to continue to find projects that are rescuing, protecting and empowering children’s lives.

I am privileged to lead the Riverview Children’s Foundation in its desire to bring about long-lasting change in the lives of children around the world.  We believe that this world is meant to be a wonderful world but just as its horror is often people- driven, its wonder must be as well.

We invite you to join us in this vital cause.
