Abuse Against Children
We work with families and schools to prevent abuse and protect those at risk.
How is DACO financed?
We are financed through the generosity of individual donors, child sponsors, corporate partners, foundations, faith-based organisations, community groups and in-kind supporters.
These contributions fund practical programmes that keep vulnerable children in school, including school fees, learning materials, meals, uniforms, transport, menstrual health support, mentorship, child protection and community resilience initiatives.
How is DACO organized?
We are organised through a Board of Directors that provides governance and strategic oversight, a management team led by the Chief Executive Officer that directs day-to-day operations, and programme teams that deliver support directly to children, families, schools and communities.
Together, these structures ensure that resources are used responsibly, decisions remain accountable and programmes continue to keep vulnerable children in school and supported to complete their education.
