The UEFA Foundation for Children is delighted to announce a project call aimed at promoting the fundamental rights of vulnerable children worldwide.

The foundation's mission is to advocate for children's fundamental rights, as recognized in international conventions, treating children as individuals with their own rights and the ability to assert them.

The UEFA Foundation for Children welcomes project proposals from organizations that share its values and offer practical measures to support children in various areas, including access to sport, personal development, disabled children, healthy lifestyle, conflict victims, gender equality, environmental protection, employability, infrastructure and equipment, and strengthening partnerships. The foundation's support extends beyond Europe, with a focus on solidarity and development aid while upholding ethical values.

Projects submitted will be evaluated at two levels: the institutional level and the project level. The UEFA Foundation for Children collaborates with partner organizations, placing children at the center of their strategies, and gradually empowering them and their families to take charge of their own development. The foundation utilizes existing networks and provides financial support to local aid organizations, regional bodies, and government entities to achieve its objectives through various partnership arrangements. Supported projects adhere to the foundation's Ethics Code and are subject to quality standards.

The beneficiaries of the foundation's efforts are disadvantaged children facing physical, mental, or psychological challenges, difficult social environments, or crises arising from armed conflict or natural disasters. The UEFA Foundation for Children strives to make a positive difference in their lives.
