About
THE non-governmental organisation (NGO) Every Child Guyana on Wednesday began its transformation into a different entity with the inauguration of ‘ChildLinK’. The Country Director, Ms. Omattie Madray said the transition will see it taking ownership of the work it has been doing, in Guyana, for nearly 15 years.
“The transition of Every Child Guyana to ChildLinK commenced some time ago and the profile we are inheriting is a positive one,” she said in the National Library, Church Street, Georgetown, where ChildLinK was formally inaugurated at a gathering of stakeholder.
However, in 2000, new initiatives were developed to provide quality services rather than giving aid.
After that, in 2002, Every Child Guyana served as a field office of Every Child UK, an international charity advocating for the rights of vulnerable children and providing opportunities for them to grow up in safe and secure environments, free from violence, exploitation and any form of abuse.
ChildLinK works towards the protection of children against abuse and exploitation, including physical, sexual, emotional, neglect and commercial. ChildLinK aims to strengthen protection networks, systems, policies, procedures and approaches for further impact on the cause.
