OIKOS Hope Foundation was founded in March 2024 to respond to challenges affecting children, women, families and underserved communities, including gender-based violence, child sexual abuse, bullying, educational exclusion, poor health outcomes and climate-related threats.
Our approach centres on engagement, prevention, learning, advocacy and partnerships. We believe meaningful child protection is a shared responsibility, and that women and young people must have real influence in the decisions shaping their communities.
Registered on 8 March 2024 under CAC / IT 7389466, OIKOS brings a community-rooted approach to protection, education, health, women’s empowerment and climate action.
To safeguard the well-being of children by championing child protection, preventing and responding to gender-based violence, advancing access to quality education, promoting health and healthy lifestyles, and protecting communities and the environment from the effects of climate change.
A society where every child is safe, protected, educated, healthy and empowered to reach their full potential, and where individuals and communities actively contribute to a safer, more inclusive, healthier and sustainable future.
These are the principles we return to when making decisions, building programmes and working alongside communities.
The safety, dignity and best interests of children come first.
Meaningful participation regardless of age, gender, disability or background.
Honest stewardship, transparency and responsible use of resources.
Listening with empathy, dignity and respect.
Lasting change grows through shared responsibility.
Knowledge, agency and confidence for people and communities.
Listening and adjusting to the communities we serve.
We engage families, caregivers, schools, civic actors, public institutions and people who know their communities best. Our role is to help strengthen knowledge, build trust and support appropriate referrals to specialist services.
