A recent press release reports, “Dharma Platform, an impact-first, mobile data collection platform, announces its new partnership with ChildFund International to grow and improve the speed of outreach to vulnerable children through digital data collection. ChildFund International has been a leader in the fight for children’s rights and well-being for over 80 years, aiding 19 million children and families in more than 25 countries around the world. With Dharma Platform’s offline, real-time data collection, ChildFund International will be able to rapidly discover key insights to effectively shape the work they do to increase children’s safety around the world. ‘Dharma Platform’s easily configurable interface has allowed us to co-create contextualized mobile monitoring and evaluation data collection tools with our implementing partners in real-time,’ said Mollie Woods of ChildFund International, ‘enhancing their ability to prepare and respond to some of the most vulnerable populations of children and families in their communities in effective ways’.”

The release continues, “ChildFund International promotes a world where every child can fulfill their potential and realize their rights, safe from violence, exploitation, and abuse, even in the most vulnerable communities. ChildFund International’s founder, Dr. J. Calvitt Clarke, developed the person-to-person “child sponsorship” model that the organization still uses today. Since the organization’s founding in 1944 as China’s Children Fund, it has spread across the globe, first as the Christian Children’s Fund, and now as ChildFund International; a worldwide force of donors, staff, and volunteers who help to educate and lift children out of poverty to become productive citizens of the world.”
