Children on the Edge works to create conditions in which every marginalised child can flourish and thrive no matter where they live and irrespective of the challenging circumstances they face.

We identify children in some of the world’s toughest situations and work alongside local communities to co-create protective environments, so marginalised children can safely live, learn, play and grow.


This year, we reached more children than ever before, and saw three of our models of education and child protection replicated to new places, bringing sustainable change on a wider scale.

Sky News has produced a 41 minute report where they went inside Myanmar conflict areas for a month. It gives a harrowing insight into the reality of this unreported but ongoing conflict.​
Children on the Edge have been working with persecuted ethnic groups both inside Myanmar and on its borders since 2006. Currently working with the Rohingya refugee community and displaced Kachin people, we also support the Karenni people, under attack in Kayah State, 5,000 of whom were subject to government airstrikes last week.
