Ever since the start of Help a Child as an organization it has had a strong belief in the power of its implementing partners. At a time when other Dutch NGO’s sent expats to the field, Help a Child supported local partner organizations in their work to help children in need. A lot of things have changed since 1968, but not the conviction that together we are strong and that we need each other to bring lasting change in the lives of children and their families. The Partnership Policy describes how Help a Child wants to form its relationship with its implementing partners.
