WE Believe

All ChorogUsan projects are grounded in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), aiming to create a world where children are respected as rights-holders and can realize their full potential.

To achieve this, ChorogUsan advances its child rights philosophy through three core pillars.

Three Core Pillars of ChorogUsan's Child Rights-Based Approach (CRBA)

• 1. Direct Service for the realization of Child Rights

  We help children access essential services by taking direct action to address violations of child rights and gaps in their realization

• 2. Empowerment of Right-Holders and Duty-Bearers

  We foster a social foundation where rights-holders and duty-bearers grow together by strengthening awareness of rights and responsibilities among children, caregivers, and civil society

• 3. Advocacy and Systemic Change for Child-Friendly Environments

  We ensure the participation of children and duty-bearers in decision-making processes
