Our Purpose
Tehila is a local and leading child safeguarding organisation in Zambia. We collaborate with children, churches, communities and child-focused organisations to create safer environments for children. Through connecting, capacity sharing and collective action, we aim to prevent and respond effectively to violence against and mistreatment of children.
Our collaborating partners are experts. Tehila facilitators walk alongside communities and organisations as they identify risks specific to children in their context and develop safeguarding measures to respond to these risks. Tehila works adheres to Zambian national laws on child protection and recognises international minimum standards on child safeguarding. In all our programmes a child’s best interests and safety is paramount.
