What Viva does to support networks
Capacity Building
God's Heart for Children
Viva's 'Understanding God's Heart for Children' course helps churches see children as God sees them, inspiring them to act and be excellent in all they do with children.
Child Safeguarding Training and Consultancy
Viva has led the way in equipping churches and organisations to be better at child safeguarding by producing resources, delivering training, and providing bespoke consultancy.
Quality Improvement System
Viva's Quality Improvement System walks alongside organisations on their journey towards attaining global standards in areas such as child safeguarding, financial accountability and project planning.
Josephine is feeling
more confident
9-year-old Josephine lives in Mwanza, Tanzania. She says, "Due to these child protection anti-violence posters, I now have good understanding on where to report any concern of abuse and how to keep myself safe."
These posters directly result from Viva's Quality Improvement System (QIS), which was run in 30 schools, all members of the Viva-supported Mwanza Children Action Network (MCAN).
When asked if any QIS module stood out, Iman, the network coordinator, did not hesitate: "YES! Child safeguarding is the module most schools are concerned about and motivated to learn about. This is because they care about children and this is how they can impact on the reduction of violence against children and respond to cases of child abuse appropriately and supportively."
As a direct result of QIS, the schools have started to put policies in place, with some adopting a child-safeguarding code of conduct for the first time.
