About the Global Network of Religions for Children (GNRC)
 

The Global Network of Religions for Children (GNRC) is a global-scale interfaith network of organizations and individuals specifically dedicated to securing the rights and well being of children everywhere.

GNRC members come from all of the world's major religions and many other spiritual traditions. The GNRC welcomes partnerships with all who share a commitment to making the world a place where every child can enjoy not only the right to survive, but also to thrive.

The GNRC as a dynamic worldwide alliance of religious organizations and people of faith and good will, is inspired by deep conviction and impelled by a sense of responsibility to uphold the rights and dignity of children everywhere, convinced that this is the most direct path to a world of peace and justice for all. Steadfast in belief in the infinite value of every human life, and in the shared universal values and common humanity of all peoples, the mission of the GNRC is to empower ordinary people at the grassroots level to make unique faith-based contributions to the realization of every child’s right to attain full physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, moral and social development, which can only take place in a caring and protective environment.

Offering an open space for interfaith dialogue and action, the GNRC works to realize these commitments through prayer and action, fostering respect for and celebration of religious and cultural diversity in all of its work. Convinced that children are themselves builders of a better world, the GNRC strives to empower children to develop their spirituality, to live in solidarity and confidence with people of all beliefs and cultures, and to make powerful contributions, as world citizens and stewards of the Earth, to peace and dignity for all.

Mobilizing the potential of all religions to become a positive transforming force and inviting the solidarity of people from all walks of life, the GNRC seeks partnership with leaders, individuals, and communities, international, national and regional institutions, grassroots organizations, and people of good will everywhere.
