GNB wants to re-direct its existing child rights efforts in one specific way – fulfilling the child’s dream. We call this ‘Dream Project Approach’. The goal is to organize the ‘total community’ for protecting child rights and for a child-friendly society. Through the Dream Project Approach, we want to achieve the following objectives: 1) Rights activities: Organized children, organized youths and organized parents 2) Curricular activities: Highest enrolment and pass rate in regular/test-based education 3) Co-curricular activities: Highest participation in the contest-based programs
