Governance & accountability

Transparent, accountable, and child-safe.

Governance is the foundation of trust. Our framework ensures decisions are made openly, resources are managed responsibly, and every child and young person we work with is protected.

Governance framework

Organizational structure

A Board of Directors provides oversight; a Management Committee leads operations; volunteers and ambassadors deliver programs.

Leadership systems

Clear roles and responsibilities at every level, with documented terms of reference.

Decision-making processes

Major decisions are made by the Board; operational decisions sit with the Director and Programs Coordinator.

Meeting structures

The Board meets quarterly; the Management Committee meets monthly; program teams meet weekly.

Financial accountability

  • Financial transparency
  • Annual budgets
  • Internal controls
  • Independent audit systems
Safeguarding policy

Reporting mechanisms

Confidential channels — by phone, email, or in person — for any concern.

Child protection commitments

Every staff member and volunteer is trained and bound by our safeguarding code.

Confidentiality standards

Reports are handled with discretion, dignity, and care for survivors.
