Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF)

  • F Funder
Description

We are an independent philanthropic organisation, with offices in Addis Ababa, Beijing, London, Nairobi and New Delhi. We work with a range of partners seeking to transform the lives of children and adolescents in developing countries. Partnerships are critical, because it will take the combined efforts of many to tackle urgently the challenges faced by children and their families every day. Our programmes are designed to support bold ideas to seemingly intractable problems.
