'This
masterful volume is remarkable in its scope and depth. It calls attention to
the countless children globally who are exposed to poverty and other
adversities. Emphasizing the shortcomings of many traditional efforts and recommending innovative grass-roots
approaches that promise high impact, it offers excellent guidance for anyone
involved in foreign assistance or international development.' –Jo Boyden, University of Oxford, UK
‘Invisible Children provides a
passionate, comprehensive and well-researched overview of community-based
organizations and the vital contribution they make toward the wellbeing of the
most vulnerable children globally. This
book is a valuable contribution to any international development course.’ -Peter
Laugharn, The Hilton Foundation, USA
Maya
Ajmera and Greg Fields provide the architecture of a new perspective on the
global agenda for children, based on a new global web of relationships stemming
from thecommunity level. Arguing that
the existing global agenda for children has failed, this book reimagines how
society can support the world’s most vulnerable children. In doing so, Invisible Children identifies and gives voice to the millions of
children globally living on society’s margins, while showing a way forward as
to how we can best invest in children.
