Advocacy for child relief (ACR) is an independent, nonpartisan, non-governmental organisation which is incorporated under the laws of Uganda. Founded by a group of young Ugandan children wellness activists and professionals in response to the ever-increasing vulnerability and poverty in children and families they live in. ACR is an organisation that passionately believes that every child has the right to survival, protection, education, and a right to have their voice heard so that they can live a meaningful and purposeful life. Currently, ACR is implementing a five-year strategic plan (2017-2022). The plan is based on the need to deepen engagement with all stakeholders for positive results of children’s wellbeing. Under this strategy, we will focus on preventing and responding to violence against children in all settings
