Each year, half of all children around the world will experience some form of violence or neglect. This staggering figure can feel paralysing. Yet, this exhibition shows what is possible when someone refuses to accept this reality, and sees a vision of collaboration that results in real, enduring change - change that prevents children from being harmed in the first place and enables them to live life in all its fullness.

As you browse through these exhibits of Viva’s origin and growth, remember that these transformative ideas and programmes did not start with superheroes, but ordinary people like you and me, choosing compassion and generosity. As Mother Teresa famously said, "What we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But if that drop was not in the ocean, I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop."

Everyone has a drop to offer, and when they unite, the impact ripples far and wide. Consider what your drop might be today - sharing this exhibition, connecting on social media, or making a donation. Together, we can all play our part to GIVE LIFE to children all around the world.
