Description
SPAN’s mission is to work alongside the socially and economically excluded groups of people, starting with children. It works to enhance the rightful and equitable share of development for all who are disproportionately placed, by facilitating the process of empowerment and good governance.
SPAN’s focused areas of engagement are (1) Child rights with special focus on the protection, education and participation of urban and rural children having their life and interest taken in consideration, (2) youth led development projecting their increased capacity to participate through education, skill and economic sustainability, (3) gender as a cross cutting aspect, women assume responsibility and accountability to become more and more visible in the social sector engagement, economic ventures and political participation having understood reproductive rights and define their new role, (4) child budget analysis, and (5) community managed livelihood resource support (CMLRS) impacting the way of life amongst the rural populace.
SPAN began working with children of migrant and displaced populations and expanded to include vulnerable and minority groups and children. SPAN endeavours to work on child rights holistically and to create an enabling spaces where people can participate in finding answers to local problems by creating alternative models to the existing development process which have failed to respond peoples’ needs and aspirations.
